jagged line
Sharp angular stroke
A jagged line is a line composed of sharp, irregular angles rather than smooth curves—the kind made by a zigzagging path or a child's drawing of lightning.
In graphics software, jagged lines appear when resolution is too low to render smooth edges, creating a stair-step effect called aliasing: The diagonal showed jagged lines until I increased the resolution.
