Feature request: implement wavy line drawing capability #6

Open mchiapello opened 2 months ago

Currently, ggarrow offers the ability to draw straight and curvy lines. It would be incredibly useful to extend the package functionality to include the ability to create wavy lines. I believe this feature would add significant value to ggarrow and make it an even more powerful tool for a variety of users. Let me know if you'd like help refining this issue or adding more specific details!

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion. Do you have an example of what you might be looking for? I'm not too familiar with how wavy lines are used in data visualisation.

Currently, ggplot2 offers a range of shapes, but drawing wavy lines isn't directly supported. This feature would be valuable for various visualizations (trends, design elements, scientific diagrams). I've seen others express interest in this feature as well. If technical hurdles are manageable, would you consider adding this feature?
