Creating a path from the center points of a selection?

If you use ofn-hatchings, the center line is guaranteed to go through the center of the layer so you can

• make a layer the size of the selection (Layer>Crop to selection),
  
• apply a hatching with a very large spacing,
  
• if necessary merge the resulting layer in your initial layer
  

Otherwise a small function of my ofn-path-to-shape script, the crosshair:

• rectangle selection
  
• Select>To path
  
• Shapes>On Strokes>Circle>Crosshair. This creates two lines, one being a diagonal of the initial rectangle (they are actually orthogonal diameters of a circle that goes through the first three points of the path stroke). Delete the one you don't want. If you are not lucky, edit the rectangle path and delete one of the corners, one of the two diameters line will always run from the first to the third.
  

Wowww O.O
This was even easier and faster than the solution I suggested with Pencil Tool!

I was never able to install ofn-hatching, I don't remember what the difficulty was exactly, but I think I had to configure something.

Ofn-path-to-shape is a plugin gem! I wonder when the developer version will be released. :-)

The good thing about this type of doubts is that they make us learn to know better certain plugins that we have and we don't even know the potential they have.
