If you add a label (could be using a wingdings font or blank text with a shield) then GeoServer will adjust label positions a bit if they are too close together. This approach isn't great because if the labels are too dense GeoServer doesn't mind omitting them from the map entirely, and GeoServer forgets where the labels went after it finishes rendering, so you might get icons that don't have any features show up in the getfeatureinfo popup that way.
If your data is small, you might want to investigate client-side clustering with openlayers. If that doesn't perform well, you could consider generating a pre-clustered layer on the server side (it would take some SQL skills to generate; I don't have an example handy.) http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/strategy-cluster-threshold.html -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 8:24 AM, Tito, Joseph <[email protected]>wrote: > When there are multiple points at the same location, is there a way to > do one of the following: > > - Slightly move one of the points so that you know there's 2 > points there instead of one > > - Label the point to indicate there are multiple points at a > certain location > > - Style the icon differently based on what points are there? > Currently my app has a 'type' attribute for each location.
