Geometric Types

From

I would like to learn the basics of PostgreSQL geometric types.
 
Can someone point to a simple explanation of how it works (preferably within the PostgreSQL database) how it is being used and any drawing system that would display the results?
 
Thanks in advance.

You can use the PostgreSQL docs for that purpose at --> http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/functions-geometry.html

For more details you can go through PostGIS ( http://postgis.refractions.net/) for that purpose...

Hope this helps...

Thank you.
 
Thats the technical view. I was hoping for a more generel overview - as if I knew absolutely nothing about geometric types and their uses.
(Which is close to the truth.)
 
Geometric Types (and GIS) for dummies would be ideal.
