Learning kanji is a lot more rewarding now, thank you!

Works great. The diagrams are great and easy to follow.

Amazing add-on and very very valuable. Thank you very much for your hard work.
I seem to have a problem, however. I use this add-on for my RTK deck and it seems to randomly create diagrams for some of the Kanji and not for others. The ones left alone are not necessarily very difficult or rare Kanji. For example, 池 is left un-diagramed.
Maybe because RTK contains some rarer Kanjis the code encounters one of them mid-way and decides to stop rather than just ignoring it?

Well done

Absolutely fantastic. Applied to my deck of 3000+ kanji and auto-filled the diagrams per the instructions. For the last 1000 kanji I do it auto-fills the field as well. Extremely handy when reviewing to have the stroke order right there, and even more handy to not have to manually draw up the stroke order for each one.
Whoever spent all this time on this, THANK YOU, it's working wonders.

Bug from 2014 = terminated.

Still great but bug from 2014 is still there
The bug reported below in 2014 that causes error messages and "Waiting for editing to finish/Resume Now" over and over, is still there. Here is the full error message. The way to cause this error is to start studying your card deck, and get to a card containing a colorized kanji, then clicking Edit and then Done and it will happen.
An error occurred. It may have been caused by a harmless bug,
or your deck may have a problem.
To confirm it's not a problem with your deck, please run Tools > Check Database.
If that doesn't fix the problem, please copy the following
into a bug report:

Stroke direction, solution to diagrams not showing up
It took me a long time to realize that the stroke numbers are located at the start of the stroke, NOT where they fit, allowing you to figure out the stroke direction. I bet I'm not the only one.
Diagrams don't show up in the browser? This worked for me:
Go to addons>kanji_colorizer>edit
find <img src="%s"> in the code near the bottom
add right in front of it so it becomes <img src="%s">
leave rest untouched
re-generate diagrams

How to update the KanjiVG dataset
It's been almost 2.5 years since this plugin's KanjiVG dataset was updated, so here's how to easily update it.
1. Download https://github.com/KanjiVG/kanjivg/archive/master.zip
2. Replace your installation's [User]/Documents/Anki/addons/kanjicolorizer/data/kanjivg with the archive's kanjivg-master/kanji (while Anki is closed ofc)
3. Regenerate your diagrams as necessary.
That last step caused the plugin to generate thousands of new '* (1).svg' files for me rather than just overwrite the old ones, so if you have a separate field for the diagrams, it's probably better to wipe it (using a regular expression like (?s).* in S&R explained below) before regenerating.
If it still happens and you want it clean:
1. Use a renamer like krename ("overwrite existing" toggled in its 2nd tab, and just " (1)" in a Search&Replace entry on the 4th one) on the affected files in Anki/Main/collection.media
2. Select all cards with diagrams on them in Anki's card browser
3. Open Search&Replace (C-Alt-F), search for eg. " (1).svg" to be replaced with ".svg" and select the appropriate field(s).
Anyway, it's worthwhile to use Anki's "Tools → Check media" afterward.

The best Heisig companion out there
The best supply to a Heisig TRK deck I've ever stumbled upon. A must-have for anyone who plans on studying the kanji seriously. Aids the whole of the mnemonic process greatly.

Bug?
I have been having some strange behavior with this addon - see below:-
I get this repeatedly when editing especially the Expression field.
The screen goes to the "Wait for editing to finish" page but clicking on
Resume Now takes me back to the same page in a loop. If I sync I get
this message:-
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "aqt/progress.pyc", line 69, in handler
File "aqt/editor.pyc", line 466, in onUpdate
File "aqt/editor.pyc", line 538, in loadNote
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'media'
If I then run Check Database I get:-
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "aqt/main.pyc", line 924, in onCheckDB
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'fixIntegrity'
If I Check Database without prior sync I just stay in the loop.
If I Quit I get this message:-

File "aqt/progress.pyc", line 69, in handler
File "aqt/editor.pyc", line 466, in onUpdate

Works great for Chinese too!
I generated diagrams for my HSK Chinese deck with it, and out of 5001 cards, 4366 now have a diagram! Admittedly, I'm not sure what percentage of two character words have both diagrams, but still, this is awesome!
Thanks a lot!

This way is quicker to check the correct stroke order
I knew this addon for a long time but I didn't installed it becouse of KanjiStrokeOrder font.
Now that I have seen the new functionality to colorize by blocks and I gave it a try. It is awesome, specially if studing the kanji following the heisig's method. Thank you very much. This way is quicker to check the correct stroke order.
I thouht this addon only generates diagrams from the kanji jis x 208 character set. But funny stats are that it also generates 28 from jis x 212 and 8 more from jis x 213 only character set.

Kanji Diagrams Not Showing Anymore
All of a sudden the diagrams are no longer regenerated.
I had a "Diagram" field with a value of "Japanese" (without) the quotes, in my model.
I also had a "Kanji" field with the Kanji characters.
After clicking the "Kanji Colorizer: re(generate) all" from the Tools menu,
the diagrams/Kanji stroke orders are not showing still.
It worked after adding some, but has stopped working since.
Any help?

perfect
Wanted to complain about the program returning errors for unknown unicode characters but it was already fixed in the meantime... Works like a charm, thank you!

It's pretty slow to download and install
But we are warned it's a big file. I tried to install it several times and I thought Anki crashed, but I gave it a little more time and it worked eventually.

Super Add on, great developer
It works perfect and has been made chinese compatible (as much as possible) on request.
The colorized Kanjis are so good to remember. Thank you.

A double saving time
This plugin obviously save time when entering a new kanji, but it also saves time during revisions: before that I used animations to learn the stroke order of a kanji, but I lost a lot of time to wait for the animation gets to the stroke that I wanted to check.
Attention, there is a small error in the manual: the field must be called diagram without the letter s.
