Don't know about pre-built utilities for graphical display of geometric
objects. Let us know what you discover.

There are already some operators available; for example, the "@"
operator is for "on or inside":
postgres=> select '(0,0)'::point
postgres-> @ '((0,1),(1,0),(0,-1),(-1,0))'::polygon;
?column?

t
(1 row)
Look in the hardcopy or html doc set which is included in v6.3.x. You
need to do a "make install" from the doc directory to get them unpacked.
Good luck...
