Transforms the specified item into a selection

This procedure renders the item's outline into the current selection of the image the item belongs to. What exactly the item's outline is depends on the item type: for layers, it's the layer's alpha channel, for vectors the vector's shape.

This procedure is affected by the following context setters: Gimp.context_set_antialias, Gimp.context_set_feather, Gimp.context_set_feather_radius.
