KeplerianRefractor: simple image flow model: context IBD with itemProperty

The transformation of the image of a :DistantObject is represented as properties objectImage of type OpticalImage, image of type KeplerianObjectiveImage, and viewedImage of type KeplerianViewedImage, each assigned as the 'itemProperty' of a Connector within a property :KeplerianRefractor within a context.

It's important to understand that the Connectors DO NOT represent the light path geometry in any sense; they represent the image flow topology only

Information about each 'itemProperty' can be exposed by additionally displaying its property symbol and using the so-called SysML IBD compartments, in this case to show the underlying :values for image and viewedImage:

SysML-1.6: 'SysML permits any property shown on an internal block diagram to also show compartments within the property box. These compartments may be given standard or user-customized labels just as on block definitions.'

SysML-1.6: 'All features shown within these compartments shall match those of the block or value type that types the property.'

This capability would be handy:

WISHLIST: Webel has suggested that future SysML should support the display of Classifier-level :features in compartments on a rectangular itemProperty symbol on an ItemFlow on a Connector in an IBD.

[CAPABILITY, DISPLAY, TOOL] The MagicDraw/Cameo feature "Enable Parts Compartments" really means "Enable SysML Compartments"

[SysML-1.6] SysML permits any property shown on an internal block diagram to also show compartments within the property box. These compartments may be given standard or user-customized labels just as on block definitions.

[SysML-1.6] All features shown within these compartments shall match those of the block or value type that types the property.

This image may be ... viewed through an eyepiece, which acts like a magnifying glass. The eye then sees an inverted magnified virtual image of the object.
