What are basic (osol al fiqh) differences & similarities between the 4 (existing) Legal Sunni Schools: Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki, & Shafi'i? Charts?

What are the basic (osol al fiqh) differences and similarities between the four existing legal sunni schools of thoughts: Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki, and Shafi'i?
Is there a chart/venn diagram that is readily available?

I understand that they are more dominant/present in specific geographic locations. For example:

  1. Hanafi (Turkey, the Balkans, Central Asia, Indian subcontinent, China and Egypt)
  2. Maliki (North Africa, West Africa and several of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf)
  3. Shafi'i (Kurdistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, East Africa, Yemen, Somalia and southern parts of India)
  4. Hanbali (Saudi Arabia)

But in regards to tenets, precepts, where do these schools of thoughts diverge or converge?
