Remember: "There is no hurry in completing the SOP's animated images"

🤔Reading this article about Chartjunk 🙁makes me think that I am complicating myself the life too much.
I developed a graphic standard of quality very high. Here are some examples:

I am contributor of the Stroke Order Project for only one reason: 🙁I need to learn the Stroke Order, because I am learning Chinese.

The next image is an example of Chartjunk.
🙂Which is full of gratuituos chartjunk! It uses a large area and much "ink" (many symbols and lines) to show only five hard-to-read numbers.
The point is: Maybe my images are full of Chartjunk.
Let's go back when the project started on the 2006

• [Revision of the guidelines from 13:22, 1 May 2006]

The Stroke Order Project just was starting. These guidelines explained how to create animated "-order.gif" images, in a size of 100px. Although they were too simple, I am sure they took a lot of effort to make at that year. Currently at 2022 it would be faster and would take me less effort to do those images. But sadly I don't think we can return to the 100px format.
Here are some examples:

I genuinely think that "-order.gif" animated images can be done faster if the graphic quality is lowered. So the question is:
🤔Should we sacrifice graphic quality in order to make the "-order.gif" animated images faster?
(Note: What do I mean by lowering the quality? R = The use of inconsistent Kaishu strokes, left graphic mistakes uncorrected, stop performing any anti aliasing process, etc.. Only worrying about if it has the correct stroke order and if it was done in kaishu). FanNihongo (talk) 22:44, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

🙁This was just another of my dilemmas. 🤔I don't know if I will implement that idea or not. FanNihongo (talk) 05:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Anyway, I sometimes forget it, but if something is clear on this project: is that that in the Stroke Order Project, there is no hurry...

• There is no hurry in completing the new update applied to my guidelines.
• There is no hurry in completing all these characters.
• There is no hurry in completing Sarang's animation request category.
• There is no hurry in translating the Stroke Order Project into other languages.
• There is no hurry in etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

There is still a lot of work to do on the Stroke Order Project. But thinking about that there is no hurry, makes it less stressing.

By the way, User:Yug gave a good tip: "You should contribute where you have fun".

So I will stick to that idea. To make quality animations on a environment without stress, is my hobby/entertainment and that is the part that I love from the project.

Likewise there is no hurry in learning Chinese. So I will take my time in learning Chinese and in doing the animated images. FanNihongo (talk) 05:58, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

New format "-order(comp).gif"

I am still on a dilemma. To continue working as always and learning Chinese slow or to work faster to progress on my Chinese studies?
That is why I created a new format("-order(comp).gif"), they will be for the wikipedia. Which show the stroke order but based on the components. With my way of working, in theory they should be easier to create. FanNihongo (talk) 19:43, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
