+=head3 Schema Overlay
+
+I<WARNING: Some styles are mandatory>
+
+Schema overlays allow the user to extend or override the styles defined in the
+default schema. The schema overlays are formatted in the form of a hash of
+hashes.
+
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * Extending the schema:
+
+To add the styles, C<##onefish>, C<##twofish>, C<##redfish>, C<##bluefish>
+the following entries should be created in a descriptive file located
+in the C<styling> directory.
+
+C<fish-schema.pl>
+
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'onefish'}{'color'} = '##darkred';
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'onefish'}{'line'} = 'LINE1';
+
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'twofish'}{'color'} = '##red';
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'twofish'}{'line'} = 'LINE2';
+
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'redfish'}{'color'} = '##yellow';
+
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'bluefish'}{'color'} = '##deeppink';
+
+Other methods of adding to the hash of hashes are also acceptable.
+
+=item * Overriding Styles:
+
+To override specific styles in the existing schema, C<##in>, C<##out>,
+entries similar to the following should be created in a Perl file,
+preferably located in the local configuration directory.
+
+C<in_out-override-schema.pl>
+
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'in'}{'color'} = '##yellow';
+ $Torrus::Renderer::graphStyles{'out'}{'color'} = '##maroon';
+
+Other methods of adding to the hash of hashes are also acceptable.
+
+=item * Applying your Overlay
+
+=over 4
+
+=item 1.
+
+In the torrus-siteconfig.pl file, add the variable
+
+$Torrus::Renderer::stylingProfileOverlay =
+ $Torrus::Global::cfgSiteDir . '/in_out-override-schema.pl';
+
+=item 2.
+
+Restart apache
+
+=back
+
+You may have to wait for the image cache to clear before the changes
+take effect.
+
+=back
+
+=head3 Schema Replacement
+
+To replace a schema, create a new schema using torrus-schema.pl as a guide.
+Remember some styles are mandatory.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * Applying your Schema
+
+In the F<torrus-siteconfig.pl> file, add the variable
+
+ $Torrus::Renderer::stylingProfile = "Your-schema";
+
+=item 2. Restart apache
+
+=back
+
+You may have to wait for the image cache to clear before the changes
+take effect.
