How can I create a wavy pattern in pixelmator? Something like this -
2 Answers
You can create a line and add multiple anchor points:
Then select one point yes - one point no etc. After that press arrow up or down and you will get this type of wave:
I give you one way to create waves:
Let's say you have a graphic primitive shape, i.e. line -
You select this form and open Effects Window where you choose Twirl effect and drag it to the shape:
You adjust the values in the popup window -
Click OK when you've done. I duplicated the results just to show the waves I got -
If you want, you can apply this effect to pictures -

Thanks for your help. I'm stuck on applying the filter. For some reason when I click on twirl nothing happens? How do I apply the effect?– A userMay 24, 2014 at 15:52

@Illan sorry I should have specified that the dragging isn't working for the shape. I can't seem to apply it to the shape :/– A userMay 24, 2014 at 15:59

I see, thanks. Is there any better solution that the twirl effect, because the wave it creates isn't perfectly symmetrical?– A userMay 24, 2014 at 17:24
