    Default Re: Is there a way to make my lines slightly 'wobbly' as if drawn by hand in XDPX?

    My approach creates a random line for each one.

    Create an oval 12x6px.Select this and Create a Scatter brush.
    Give it a name.
    Draw a line and Edit Brush.
    Change about eevry parameter there is:
    Spacing (to overlap): ~50%; Randomis ~90-110%.
    Offset: Alternating - Distance:~5% - Random: ~0-3%.
    Scaling Random: ~75-132%.
    Fill: All brush colours - Random Saturation: 0-~8% - Random Hue: 0-~10%.

    Drawn lines, existing shapes with Line widths, straight or angled lines all dynamically change when adjusted for width and control points.
    You can retweak a partcular line with a Re-edit without save.
    You can Break Points with Line (not Shapes) and your can Reverse Paths.

    I believe Scatter Brushes are the only Xara component that handles random.

    Some examples:

    The top Acorn is there to emphasise the positioning of the lozenges.
