Counts and means only. No conclusions are drawn from small groups. These are counts in one KanjiVG snapshot. A count is not a rule of stroke order, and it does not say what a character means.

When the focused stroke has been drawn it stays cinnabar. Click a plate to replay. With reduced motion the finished character stays still, and the color stays. The mark is optional data-stroke-highlight. A plate without it is not recolored. The plate stays cream in either theme. The draw timings are unchanged.

Length and angle by rank

The first line of a cell is the stroke count. The second line is the mean arc length. The third line is the mean chord angle. A dash means that cell has no stroke, so it has no mean. The four counts add to the Strokes column. The total row is every listed stroke, and its mean is not the mean of the rows. Counts and means only. No conclusions are drawn from small groups.
