How to create Cantonese stroke order animated images?

This is a look up app for Cantonese Chinese stroke order animation. When you learn to write Cantonese, it is really important to learn the correct stroke order for each character. This will help you remember how to write them correctly. It will also help you over time as you learn new characters with the same stroke order but additional parts or radicals. By breaking down the stroke order into steps, you can see where you are going wrong (and where you are going right!)

To use this app just enter Chinese text that you want to look up and you'll see all the stroke orders for the characters. On the left hand side, paste the Cantonese characters. On the right hand side, you will be able to see a step-by-step animation of how to write each character correctly.

When you put the characters in, there is the option of viewing them individually (one-by-one) or all at once. If you select display by individual, each character will show up one at a time and then stop/start so you can see it more clearly. With the all at once option, the character stroke orders will all appear at the same time. You can also choose the speed of the Chinese stroke order and which colors the stroke order appears in and background - play around with the stroke color, transient color and background color. You can also choose if the Jyutping (Cantonese romanisation) displays beneath or above the characters as well.  If you click on the image, you should be able to see a bigger version of it.

Any Cantonese text that we don't have the stroke order for, it will display as a blue box. If you are entering lots of Cantonese text at once, then it may take a slight amount of time to load.
