How can I draw the light diagram in a convergent lens?

There are three rays whose direction is known:

The ray passing through the intersection of the lens and the optical plane does not change its direction.

The ray passing through the object focal point go parallel to the optical plane.

Rays coming from the infinty pass through the image focal point.
