+    @brief
+        Base class to display content directly onto the screen.
+        This is merely a wrapper of the Ogre::Overlay to implement more features and integrate it
+        in our class hierarchy for xml loading and config values.
+        The mentioned features are:
+        - Automatic positioning depending on the scale and the rotation angle.
+          You can specify a "pick point" relative to the overlay itself. This point will always be exactly
+          at the position (position_) of the overlay. That allows for margin/corner aligment.
+          It even works when a rotation angle is applied.
+        - Virtual methods for changedVisibilty() (BaseObject), angleChanged(), sizeCorrectionChanged(),
+          sizeChanged() and positionChanged(), that can be overridden by any derivative. This enables for
+          custom configurability of the size, position and rotation attributes. For intance, the HUDNavigation
+          should behave differently to sizeChanged() than a standard overlay.
+        - Console commands for scale, rotate and scroll (accessed by name)
+        - Standard Ogre::PanelOverlayElement for a background image (class doesn't have to be derived
+          only for displaying a picture).
+        - Reacts to changes of the window aspect
+        - Last but not least: On demand you can tell the overlay to automatically resale to correct for
+          aspect distortion. E.g. if you play 1024x768 you wouldn't want a round object to be oval.
+          Remark: This can (due to the Ogre::Overlay transformation order) only work for angle that are
+                  multiples of 90 degrees. But it's only a small drawback.
