[postgis-users] Geometry Viewer in PgAdmin

[ruvenml at beamerbrooks.com]

Out of idle curiosity, I looked at Geometry Viewer.   It allows just one 
data display layer so you can only look at one table/query at a time. 
The style of the geometric objects is hard coded so you can't change 
their color, background pattern, line style etc.   It does not support 
color scales.  I can't think of any use case for which it would be useful.

I would strongly suggest using QGIS instead.  Not only does QGIS have 
all of the capabilities missing from Geometry Viewer but it will read 
directly from PostGIS tables.  Since it's so widely used there's lots of 
documentation and other learning materials; I counted five different 
Youtube beginner's tutorials.
