What do you mean? An Overview about PostgreSQL? Okay:
http://www.postgresql.org/about/

Or geometric datatypes? Okay:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/datatype-geometric.html

Thanks for the link.

However, I was thinking in terms of how and where the geometric datatypes
are used and why they were developed.
