How do you create a Shape Layer effect?

Pretty sure these aren't called "effects", but I'm not sure what they're called. I'm speaking specifically about Zigzag, etc. My goal is an effect that manipulates and distorts path data. This seems to be the appropriate place for it?

I am talking about making an effect that appears in that same "Add" menu in a Shape Layer. I want to make something that takes vector input, and outputs vector. I would assume this is how those few effects work (Zig Zag, Round Corners, etc).

ok. so what were looking at is an AEGP plug-in (as opposed to an effect

plug-in), which will manipulate the shape in a "once off" operation.

look at the "cheesy cheese" sample project for how to create an AEGP that

places an AE menu entry, and look at the "PathMaster" sample project on how

to access and change shapes.
