A '''zigzag''' is a [[pattern]] made up of many small corners at an [[angle|acute angle]], tracing a path between two [[parallel lines]]; it can be described as both ''jagged'' and fairly regular.

From the point of view of [[symmetry]], a regular zigzag can be generated from a simple motif like a [[line segment]] by repeated application of a [[glide reflection]]:

:*\*/*\*/*\*/*\* ...

Equally it is the juxtaposition of [[chevron]]s.

A car, for example, could move in a zigzag, that is, not going straight, but instead moving left and right and left and so on. The trace of a [[triangle wave]] or a [[sawtooth wave]] could be described as a ''zigzag''. [[Pinking shears]] are designed to cut cloth with a zigzag edge, to lessen fraying. Zigzags are a basic decorative pattern used on [[pottery]].

ZigZag - also the name of the first cutting-edge UK rock music magazine. Started in 1969 by Peter Frame (later famous for his innovatory 'rock trees' tracing changing personnel line-ups in the rock music world) the magazine continued to be published in London through the 1970s until the establishment of punk rock.
