Point (De-)Cluster Renderer

[JakobMiksch]

It would be useful to display vector data using a clustering or de-clustering visualisation.

Ideally configurable in the appContext.

There are already OpenLayers based implementations from ol-ext

• demo
• cluster interaction

Would you be interested in a contribution for this? Or would it be more valuable to work on #261 first?

[fschmenger]

Hi @spwoodcock, both of those would be valuable contributions, so it's definitely appreciated if you pick one and work on it.

Regarding #261 I'm not familiar with the latest state. Since we're in the process of moving towards Wegue 2 a migration to OL 7 would become feasible. But it's probably a good idea to move in small steps and support the latest OL 6 version first.

Cheers Felix

Hi @spwoodcock , thanks for your will to contribute. Very much appreciated! Recently we had a project where I did something in the direction of clustering / declustering. Unfortunately the clustering algorithm is not optimal in the current Wegue OL Version 6.4.3. But it got optimized in later OL 6 versions. Therefore I'd suggest to go to latest OL v6 before working on a clustering solution.

Hi @chrismayer, I also have worked on a project with clustering on ol6.4+ and it worked nicely.

Let's wait for #320 then before starting this.
