Hi,

Thanks for porting this and submitting to FreeBSD.  These ports looks
nice, but I am wondering if japanese is the best category these ports
go.  Does Zinnia recognizes only Japanese characters?  Or we can add
them into another category, say, graphics?

Best regards,
Li-Wen

Hi Li-Wen,

The libraries themselves I think also support Chinese, but they would need additional Hanzi databases to work properly.  As for Zinnia, it is written by a native Japanese speaker, (I think) so I would presume the support for Japanese is where the author focuses, but it sounds like a general recognition analysis library that depends mostly on the data that you "train" it with.  The frontend (Tekagi) supports both Chinese and Japanese handwriting analysis, and it appears to use the zinnia engine for that ana lysis.

If you have a more general category in mind for these utilities, I would have no problem with changing to that category.  Graphics is fine.

  Added files:

  Log:
  Zinnia is a simple, customizable and portable online hand recognition system
  based on Support Vector Machines. Zinnia simply receives user pen strokes as a
  sequence of coordinate data and outputs n-best characters sorted by SVM
  confidence. To keep portability, Zinnia doesn't have any rendering
  functionality. In addition to recognition, Zinnia provides training module that
  allows us to create any hand-written recognition systems with low-cost.
