Misplaced and missing stroke numbers

[eichhirn]

There are a number of files where the order of strokes and numbers does not match. In the majority of cases, it is the numbers that are placed incorrectly, although there might be a small number of cases where the actual stroke order is wrong.

In 274 files some or all of the stroke numbers are missing. This affects all kana and latin characters. A majority of them was probably lost in the conversion to the combined xml/svg format ("kanji" directory). They still exist in the old "SVG" directory:

The topic of misplaced stroke numbers was discussed a while ago in
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/kanjivg/-0qmqfLj_aE
Repeating my last post there:

1. My stroke number placement checker reports 1644 files as possibly buggy, among them
   Stroke swaps = 1503 Wrong stroke direction = 542 Missing numbers = 274
   The output of the Stroke number placement checker is here:
   https://gist.github.com/3132779
2. Another program of mine that places stroke numbers automatically can be used to check the manual stroke numbers. The output is here:

This issue also covers #34, #30, #29, #28, #27, #19, #15, #14 (partial), #9, #8, #6, #2.

Update:
Due to changes by ospalh and myself, the situation has improved a bit.
There are now 1157 possibly buggy files, among them
Stroke swaps = 1004 Wrong stroke direction = 244 Missing numbers = 0
I have updated the files with the error reports.
I have added a report for Jouyou items only. In this range there are only 59 files with problems left.

Could you perhaps run your scripts a third time?
I went through the collection and fixed quite a number of files, so my guess is that it has improved again.

Okay,
I updated this one: https://gist.github.com/3132779
Now the summary reads:
Files with possible errors = 729 Stroke swaps = 563 Stroke direction = 200 Missing numbers = 0 Duplicate numbers = 1

[ospalh]

Done. 6d0d6d0
There are still some files where the script will complain,. For some the numbers could be moved in a bit, but i think they are acceptable. For some there is not really any better spot.

Great job. Another update: https://gist.github.com/3132779 results in:
Files with possible errors = 281 Stroke swaps = 241 Stroke direction = 51 Missing numbers = 0 Duplicate numbers = 0
All I checked manually were false positives.
A future change could use varying (smaller) font sizes where necessary. In my auto placement tool I now prefer putting the numbers on top of the strokes, not next to them. Updated output: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-TA0GJ6dksVVnRiZExtTkdpSU0
