### 7.8.39 Distort/Zig Zag

Zig Zag is a layer distortion (see chapter 2.6). It modifies a text or vector layer by running along its outline and alternately displacing the points to the left and to the right.

Kind controls the way of displacement. It is possible to create spikes, gears and waves. Count defines how many of them are created.

Relative, Absolute and Distance define the strength of displacement. If Absolute is turned on, the distance is given in a discrete unit like pixel or inch. If Relative is turned on, it is entered relative to the size of the layer.
