__Overlay__ - An overlay is an additional plane that is layed over the finished render of a ((-scene|scene)). Commonly, scores or interaction menus for the player are positioned there. In the Ogre demos, overlays are used to display the Ogre logo as well as current information about the scene, such as ((-polygon|polygon)) count or current ((-FPS|frames per second)).
