kanjistat (development version)

  • Lennart Finke is now a co-author.

New features

  • Function kanjidist accepts two new type arguments “pc” and “pcweighted” for computing component distances based on (weighted) point clouds rather than bitmap images.

  • Data sets dstrokedit and dyehli added with stroke edit and Yeh-Li (bag-of-radicals) distances between Jouyou kanji and (usually a bit more than) their closest ten neighbors. Based on the PhD thesis by Lars Yencken (2010).

User visible changes

  • Previously, function kanjimat cut off part of the kanji under the default setting marging = 0 on Windows. The algorithm for setting the effective margin in the bitmap representation has been improved.
