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

Click a plate to replay. A mark appears when the later stroke has been drawn. A crossing is a cinnabar X, a T-junction is an indigo T, and an L-junction is a gold L. With reduced motion the finished character stays still, and the marks stay. A plate without the junction attribute draws no mark, and the draw timings are unchanged.
