Stroke format question.

Some of the strokes in the alphabet file have extra points at the end of the
stroke. For example, the first stroke of "y" has 1 line and an extra point 90
0. What do these points represent?

  I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think you're misinterpreting the
  stroke format. A stroke is a sequence of coordinates; each coordinate is a
  pair of numbers. See

    http://www.monmouth.edu/rclayton/web-pages/s01-509/pa4.html#toc_anchor_6

  for details. To take your example, the stroke set for a Y in the training
  set is

    Y
    10 210 90 110 90 0
    170 210 90 110

  The first stroke has three coordinates, the third of which is x = 90, y = 0.

  If you're still having trouble understanding the stroke format, you might
  want to plot the strokes on a piece of graph paper (dividing each number
  by 10 simplifies things).
