Path To Selection

[Krikor]

Lady and Gentlemen,

The techniques presented here are very interesting and instructive.
Both teapote and rich2005's methods (path-inbetweener and bend-path + replicate-path-along-path) gave me more flexibility to deal with this situation.

I always struggled when I needed to produce this type of selection after having the paths created.

My approach was using the Path rungs plugin and in some cases I do:
- Stroke Path (Paint along the path);
- Apha for selection (selecting the created lines);
- Select to path.

This gives "something" close to what I wanted to select. But it doesn't always give something acceptable.

You can not have a "T" junction in a path.

I thought that creating anchors on the winding path and joining each of them with the anchors of the vertical strokes - at their intersections ("T" junction - as said by rich2005) would produce the desired selection... 

Thank you all for the great help!
