[Japanophiles] KanjiCafe Releases 1, 500 Kanji Stroke Order Diagrams

[Trading Department]

Dear students of Japanese,

The 3rd release for the public of the Kanji Cafe's stroke order  
diagrams occurred yesterday.  1,500 diagrams are now available to  
website developers and software developers, or the savvy student with  
sufficient computer skills.

The grant of license is located here:

http://www.kanjicafe.com/license.htm

The largest change to the license between the 3rd and 2nd release is  
the provision:

"YOU MUST PROVIDE A LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE, or software product which  
intends to use the diagrams, which then must appear on public display  
at the license page at www.kanjicafe.com/license.htm before your use  
is legal and compliant. Use of the 3rd public release of 1,500 kanji  
is unauthorized unless you have provided valid link information to  
KanjiCafe.com and it is subsequently on public display. To have your  
website linked to from the license page, and thereby comply with the  
license agreement, send the URL of your site or product to "jim (at)  
kanjicafe.com". If you are upgrading from the 2nd public release of  
1,000 kanji, you must comply with this limitation (1) before using  
the new 1,500 kanji set.

(This provision has been added to help familiarize the public with  
products and websites which are make use of the project's SODAs and  
SODs in a legal manner, as well as to help promote legal use of the  
diagrams and animations in accordance with this license.) "


This is the largest collection of stroke order diagrams and  
animations available for use by the general public, and the 2nd  
largest largest collection of kanji stroke order animations online  
(KanjiCafe.com).  Upon the 4th release, it will be the largest.  This  
release added an enormous number of 10, 11, and 12 stroke characters,  
and re-edited many of the previous 1,000 animations and diagrams  
released.

The archives either contain 1,500 GIF89a animations of stroke order,  
or 1,500 static PNG stroke order diagrams (Kanji Cafe uses both).   
Each file is named for the kanji it depicts.  EIther in EUC-JP or  
Unicode encoding, or the ASCII Hex number for EUC, JIS, Shift-JIS, or  
Unicode (UTF8).  Do not attempt to use a graphic user interface to  
look into the directories, as this will probably overwhelm your  
machine and crash it.  To view the contents use a terminal.  Each  
archive contains a copy of the license, as well as a manifest of  
which kanji are contained in the archive.

time programming!
