These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A straightness is not a rule of stroke order.

Click a plate to replay. Each stroke is tinted from its stored straightness once it has been drawn. Indigo is near-straight, 0.9800 and above. Gold is gently curved, from 0.9000 up to but not including 0.9800. Cinnabar is hooked or turning, below 0.9000. With reduced motion the finished character stays still, and every tint stays. A plate without the attribute is not recolored, and the draw timings are unchanged.
