I attended a T³ Hands-On Course last week and learned that I can
import Cabri FIG files into TI-Nspire.
Is there a way to convert a JPG bitmap file to a FIG vector file?
I searched the Web and could find nothing.
I assume here a JPG file with a black and white vector drawing (lines,
circles, etc.) readily discernible by a graphics software package.

I'm not sure if you already know this, but a JPEG is made up of
pixels, and a FIG (or any other vector file) is made up of
mathematical equations to construct the lines and circles. Therefore,
you can't convert a JPEG to a FIG, but you could convert a FIG to a
JPEG.

I know. I meant that an intelligent software package might be able to
detect the patterns in the JPG based on the arrangements of dots and
then convert those to a vector FIG file. It is ambitious but worth
asking.

This looks promising:

I will investigate further and report my findings.

After playing with Cabri II Plus some more, I realized I could just
import the JPG file as a background image, then trace over it with the
vectors. I can save the FIG file and then import that into a TNS
file. That will have to do for now.

Dear Luke Setzer,
Do you have an example .tns file that shows this? I'm just curious.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

Dear Luke Setzer,
On top of the response I made earlier, how did you manage to get this
Cabri FIG to display on the TI-Nspire?
Sincerely,

If you have a .fig file from Cabri II then you can go to TI-Nspire computer software and then choose Open Document then choose Files of Type (pull down menu) and choose Cabri Plus II Figure (*.fig) click on a Cabri II figure you have and TI-Nspire will convert what it can into a tns document.
Hope this helps,
Bryson
