1.3. Optional: Installing stroke order diagrams

The kanji dictionary can be supplemented with kanji stroke order diagrams. J-Ben is licensed to use the 3rd public release of the SODER project's stroke order diagrams, however to save on download size these are not included in the main J-Ben packages. They are available from theJ-Ben download page along with the rest of the J-Ben packages. Download one of these packages and decompress it into the "sods" directory of J-Ben. If there is no "sods" directory, create one. Then, go to Edit->Preferences, and in the Kanji Dictionary preferences tab, enable either regular or animated stroke order diagrams. You should be set. (As a last note, packages directly from KanjiCafe can also be used, but they must be marked as utf8-hex.)
