Creating a path from the center points of a selection?

What you need is called a morphological skeletonize operation or medial axis transform. It's a common operation in image processing. There are many libraries that can perform this task, but some sort of context in which you perform the operation would be useful.

Trying to automate some tasks for map making. So say I have a set of roads laid out on a layer. Having a path that followed the center of the road would allow me to perform multiple strokes on the road to lay down color, texture, pot holes or whatever else I would like. So in the end I would like to be able to call this from scripts, but from what I have seen so far most anything you can do from the UI you can do from the pdb. I have been pointed to AutoTrace and a plug in to use it, I am probably going to try that next unless someone has nifty other ideas. =)

Thanks for the responses.
