筆順 · the box the strokes fill
Drawing area and order
How much of a character’s final box, and of the convex hull of its samples, is already in place after each stroke.
These are frequencies in one KanjiVG snapshot. A strategy name is a label for the numeric rule below. It does not say that the order is the one a hand must use.

How the area is read

The box and the 109 square
Four growth curves
- 国
- 一
- 木
- 中
Six characters
国, 一, 木, and 中 are the checked characters. 年 is the first character in Gallery order, among late expand, with 4 to 8 strokes. 出 is the first such character in other. A tie keeps Gallery order.
Stroke 1 and the finished character
The table gives stroke 1 and the finished character for 国, 一, 木, and 中. Width, height, and the two areas are hundredths. The two shares are thousandths of that character’s own final measure.
| Character | Stroke | Width | Height | Box area | Box share | Hull area | Hull share |
|---|
Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still. A light rectangle is the axis-aligned box of the samples drawn so far. It appears with the first stroke and grows when a later stroke extends the box. The rectangle uses the stored corner coordinates, each rounded to a hundredth.
