筆順 · balance over the order
Left-right and top-bottom balance over the order
After each stroke, the share of samples drawn so far that lie in each half of the finished character’s box, and the stroke at which that share stays within 5 percentage points.
These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A prefix that sits in one half of the finished box is not a rule that the order must balance.
Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still. The cross is the finished character’s box, and its midlines. The upper bar is left, on the vertical midline, and right. The lower bar is top, on the horizontal midline, and bottom. The hairline is half the bar. A plate without the balance attribute draws no bar and does not change its frame.
- Cinnabar: left on the upper bar, top on the lower bar
- Indigo: right on the upper bar, bottom on the lower bar
- Gold: samples on the midline, and the cross of the final box
- The hairline is half of the bar
