Creating a Flared Cluster on a Graphics Layer

AnthonyGiles — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:40:01 GMT

All,

I have developed a widget for Flex Viewer 2.5 that sends a SOAP request to a web service of a 3rd party application.

The response to the SOAP request contains various fields for a number of records, two of which are the latitude and longitude of the record. I create a graphics layer then I parse through the results to plot the locations as individual graphics (picture marker symbols using an icon from a URL in each record) adding them to the graphics layer. Each graphic can then be clicked on to view its attributes in a pop up.

This all works fine, the trouble I am having is that if more than one record is in the same location I can only click on the uppermost graphic to view the attributes. Is there anyway I can create a flared cluster (keeping the original icon and ability to click to see attributes when flared) on loactions than have more than record?

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Regards

Anthony

All,

I found the solution by using a clusterer on the graphics layer with a flare. If anyone else is interested in the solution let me know.

I am surely interested in this solution. I tried using clusters in 2.5 but the numbers get scrambled. I hope this widget should solve my problem

Shweta,

I have not developed a widget purely for clustering data as this is already a native function on feature layers. What I have done is added the cluster ability to graphic layers used in other widgets that I have developed to work against other applications on our closed network.

Attached is the source code for an add excel file widget that utilises the clustering capability. This is source code so that you can see how the cluster is added to a graphics layer, this is meant for developers and not as a compilied widget.

Pawan

I have seemed to have deleted all attachments I have uploaded somehow,

You can find the code in this widget:
