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

Click a plate to replay. A small compass sits on the chord, near its start, and the needle points toward the end. The needle just reached is indigo. An earlier needle stays cinnabar. With reduced motion the finished character stays still, and every needle stays. A plate without the attribute draws no needle, and the draw timings are unchanged.
