Generating candidate logograms

A method comprising:

• recognizing, by use of a processor, one or more strokes of a logogram input for a logogram;
• and
• calculating radical profile from one or more first strokes of the logogram input;
• recognizing the logogram input radical in response to the radical profile matching radical data;
• displaying a plurality of topology indications, wherein each topology indication of the plurality of topology indications indicates a space of a potential location of additional logogram input relative to the logogram input radical and the plurality of topology indications consist of an additional logogram input on a left topology indication, an additional logogram input on a right topology indication, an additional logogram input in a center topology indication, an additional logogram input in an upper right topology indication, and an additional logogram input in a lower right topology indication;
• receiving a selection of a first topology indication of the plurality of topology indications at a graphical input that indicates the space of the additional logogram input relative to the logogram input radical;
• and
• generating one or more candidate logograms in response to both the logogram radicals of the candidate logograms matching the logogram input radical and topologies of the candidate logograms matching the first topology indication, wherein the topologies of the candidate logograms consist of the additional logogram input on the left topology indication, the additional logogram input on the right topology indication, the additional logogram input in the center topology indication, the additional logogram input in the upper right topology indication, and the additional logogram input in the lower right topology indication.

A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:

• recognizing one or more strokes of a logogram input for a logogram;
• calculating radical profile from one or more first strokes of the logogram input;
• recognizing the logogram input radical in response to the radical profile matching radical data;
• displaying a plurality of topology indications, wherein each topology indication of the plurality of topology indications indicates a space of a potential location of additional logogram input relative to the logogram input radical and the plurality of topology indications consist of an additional logogram input on a left topology indication, an additional logogram input on a right topology indication, an additional logogram input in a center topology indication, an additional logogram input in an upper right topology indication, and an additional logogram input in a lower right topology indication;
• receiving a selection of a first topology indication of the plurality of topology indications at a graphical input that indicates the space of the additional logogram input relative to the logogram input radical;
• and
• generating one or more candidate logograms in response to both the logogram radicals of the candidate logograms matching the logogram input radical and topologies of the candidate logograms matching the first topology indication, wherein the topologies of the candidate logograms consist of the additional logogram input on the left topology indication, the additional logogram input on the right topology indication, the additional logogram input in the center topology indication, the additional logogram input in the upper right topology indication, and the additional logogram input in the lower right topology indication.
