Using the Zig Zag and Add Arrowheads commands, you can create wavy and zig zag 
effects and add various arrowhead styles to lines. 

You can apply these commands as a filter or as an effect (see 

.)

The Zig Zag command adds anchor points to an existing object and then moves some of 
the points to the left of (or upward from) the path and some to the right of (or downward 
from) the path. You can specify the number of anchor points to create and the distance to 
move them. You can also choose whether to create smooth anchor points for a wavy line 
effect, or corner anchor points for a jagged line effect.
