[SOLVED] japanese kanji animations

awayand · 2011-10-27 03:00:29

Does anyone know of a program that lets me enter a kanji and then will spew out an animated version (not stroke order diagram, actual animation) in .gif or .svg or similar? Kanjivg looks like it could be used for this, but I haven't found anything that would just simply let me enter 本 for example and then just watch the animation of it...

Wikipedia has something like that - it's not an app and you don't input a character, but have a look at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commo … er_Project e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File: … -order.gif

thanks for that, I have stumbled across these, but obviously this is not what I am looking for...

Tagaini Jisho might be what you're searching for.

I like this site:
http://kakijun.main.jp/main/mainix.html

I once made a list of all the URLs by parsing the stroke order pages.
It's over a year old so I don't know if it's still got all the kanji or if any of the URLs have changed.
I forgot the exact commands I used to make it.

Here is a script that uses it and keeps the gifs on your hard drive so you don't have to download them multiple times.
Save the above links file as pages.txt in ~/kanjigifs

When executing the script I'm receiiving:

gifview: '.gif' doesn't seem to contain a GIF

Any idea how I can fix this?

The first argument has to be one single kanji.

If you want to add it to a menu, consider script.sh "$(xsel)"

I thought the script provided would read from pages.txt and download the gifs accordingly. I'm a tad confused

I have just released a project that provides animated kanji in SVG format.
It is called AniKanjiVG and is based on KanjiVG which you have already found.
It uses the <animate> element from SVG to provide animations for the otherwise static kanjis from KanjiVG.

The animations are a nice visualization of stroke orders but the animations' smoothness depends on the browser/viewer.
