I am looking to create a simple border in Gimp and have tried both the selection >> border and both the stroke selection methods and both are not creating what I am looking for. The stroke selection technique is the closest I have gotten. I am looking to create an outline in gimp around a selection using diagonals. Like the following (the dark purple):
However I am getting it on the top but on the bottom, I am ending up with this:
How would I go about making the border like the top (connected diagonally) all the way around. I could do it manually but I have spent hours doing this tedious task. Thanks in advance.

One technique would be to use a path, and then stroke the path with the Paint tool option set to Pencil, and with the Pencil Tool itself set to 1px.
Example
Simple solution, may requires some slight manual corrections on the result:
Add a new layer
Edit>stroke path with a with of 2 pixels
Layer>Mask>Add layer mask and initialize by transferring the alpha channel if the layer.
Use the Threshold tool with a very high threshold (>250)
I actually figured out the problem by changing the border width to 1.5 pixels. Well problem solved.
