筆順 · the mean of the samples so far
Centroid over the order
Where the mean of the samples drawn so far sits after each stroke, how far that point moves from the first stroke to the finished character, and where its largest jumps fall.
These are frequencies in one KanjiVG snapshot. A class name is a label for the numeric rule below. It does not say that the order is the one a hand must use.

Stroke 1 and the finished character
The table gives the centroid after stroke 1 and the centroid of the finished character for 国, 一, 木, and 中. Coordinates and the distance to the final centroid are hundredths. The origin is the top left, and y grows downward.
| Character | Stroke | x | y | Distance to final |
|---|
Travel, path, and the two strokes
Travel, path, and a jump length elsewhere on the page are hundredths. The ratio is a thousandth of path divided by travel. Settles is the settle stroke. Jump is the stroke that makes the largest jump. 一 has no jump and no ratio.
| Character | Strokes | Travel | Path | Ratio | Settles | Jump |

Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still. A mark sits at the centroid of the samples drawn so far. It appears with the first stroke and moves when a later stroke changes the mean. A line joins the centroids of the prefixes already drawn. The mark uses the stored coordinates, each rounded to a hundredth.
