I just wonder whether commands can be typed in PgAdmin to view geometries.

It is amazing how much one can learn by reading documentation. You are
looking for a section that describes how to view, and possibly edit, data
in pgAdmin4.

It would be nice to be able to write lines of scripts to tell PgAdmin to
show some visualisation of geographical features.

I wasn't aware pgAdmin had a command line oriented interface. I thought it
was pure GUI. The only scripts you write are SQL scripts executed on the
server - pgAdmin is just the messenger. Though it does provide GUI
elements to view those results that it receives. Both the result tables
themselves and the column contents of various data types.

pgAdmin, as the name implies, is really for *administering* Postgresql in a
GUI manner, *not* for visualizing GIS coordinates.
