Adding Ideal Devices SimPHY

You can create an optical device like an ideal mirror or lens using this tool menu by selecting/creating 2 points.

Note: These optical instruments will act as ideal in nature following the reflection and refraction properties strictly without showing any spherical or chromatic aberration.

Note: As soon as you add a lens a property table will open on the left hand side, you can edit the properties like show-axis, show focus, rays-color, change focal length (you can enter variable expression here as shown in below gif) by this property table.

Note: if you want a concave mirror just make the focal length negative.In the same manner you can add ideal mirrors too.
