| 1 | += Display inherited ports as border nodes in diagrams |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +== Problem |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +With the current version 2025.10.0 of SysON, inherited _PortUsages_ are displayed in the "ports" compartment in standard diagrams. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +== Solution |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The inherited _PortUsages_ are displayed as graphical border nodes in standard diagrams. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The existing diagram option "Show inherited members" should be used to control the visibility of inherited _PortUsages_ displayed as graphical border nodes (as they already do for the inherited _PortUsages_ displayed in the "ports" compartment). |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The existing diagram option "Show inherited members from standard libraries" should be used to control the visibility of inherited _PortUsages_ from standard libraries displayed as graphical border nodes (as they already do for the inherited _PortUsages_ from standard libraries displayed in the "ports" compartment). |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +When an inherited _PortUsage_ is specialized, it should disappear from the graphical border nodes (as it is already the case for the "ports" compartment). |
| 16 | +Instead, the specialized _PortUsage_ should be displayed as a graphical border node (as it is already the case for the "ports" compartment). |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +When a _PortUsage_ is inherited from multiple super types, it should be displayed only once as a graphical border node (as it is already the case for the "ports" compartment). |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +When a connection is made to an inherited _PortUsage_ displayed as a graphical border node, then a _specialization_ (a _Redefinition_) of the _PortUsage_ should be created in its owner _Element_. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +For example, for the following textual SysMLv2: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +[source,sysml] |
| 25 | +---- |
| 26 | +package VehicleModel { |
| 27 | + port def FuelPort; |
| 28 | + part def Vehicle { |
| 29 | + port fuelInPort : FuelPort; |
| 30 | + } |
| 31 | + part v1 : Vehicle { |
| 32 | + } |
| 33 | + part part2 { |
| 34 | + port port1; |
| 35 | + } |
| 36 | +} |
| 37 | +---- |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The resulting diagram should look like this: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +image:images/inherited_port_as_border_node.png[Port as border node] |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +The inherited `fuelInPort` is displayed as a graphical border node on `v1`. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Then when a connection is made to the `fuelInPort` of `v1`, a _Redefinition_ of the `fuelInPort` should be created in `v1`. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +[source,sysml] |
| 48 | +---- |
| 49 | +package VehicleModel { |
| 50 | + port def FuelPort; |
| 51 | + part def Vehicle { |
| 52 | + port fuelInPort : FuelPort; |
| 53 | + } |
| 54 | + part v1 : Vehicle { |
| 55 | + port :>> fuelInPort { |
| 56 | + } |
| 57 | + } |
| 58 | + part part2 { |
| 59 | + port port1; |
| 60 | + bind port1 = v1.fuelInPort; |
| 61 | + } |
| 62 | +
|
| 63 | +} |
| 64 | +---- |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +The resulting diagram should look like this: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +image:images/inherited_port_as_border_node_after_connection.png[Port as border node after connection] |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +The `fuelInPort` is now specialized (redefined) in `v1` and displayed as a graphical border node on `v1`. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +== Cutting backs |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +No cutting backs. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +== Rabbit holes |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +No rabbit holes found. |
