    In LaTeX, I can draw regular wavy lines using the following command.

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{tikz}
    \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}
    \begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
    Β  \node[circle, draw] (v) at (3, 3) {$v$};
    Β  \node[circle, draw] (t) at (2, 0) {$t$};
    Β Β 
    Β  \draw[-, decorate, decoration={snake, segment length=10pt, amplitude=4pt}]Β 
    Β  (v) -- (t);
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \end{document}

    Unfortunately, in Inkscape, I don't know how to draw them. No matter how I create them, they end up looking uneven and messy, making it difficult to achieve uniformity.

    Yet another possibility. Semi-related ... using the Scatter Extension. (This has extension has been renamed inΒ version 1.3 to "Distribute Along Path".

    As always, there's another way. Try [Path > Path Effects...] [Pattern Along Path] and link to the sine wave, or any other path.
