Hi All,
I've got a few thousand features drawn on a map using the Clustering
strategy. When the map is dragged around I'd like to keep the features on the
map until the drag is over and then fetch new data using the new BBOX. But if
the map is zoomed in a lot, the clustering strategy is incredibly slow, so I
want to remove all features from the map before the re-clustering happens.
Right now I can set up events for movestart, moveend and zoomend. "Movestart"
is called at the right time, i.e. before the map has been zoomed and the
clustering happens on the full data, but I can't determine if the map has been
zoomed or dragged. The getZoom() function returns the same value as it had
before the movestarted. I guess what I need falls into three
i) An event called zoomstart, that is only fired when the zoom value is changed
ii) a function called getSoonToBeZoomLevel() which gets the value that the map
is being zoomed to
iii) A way to stop the clustering from recalculating when the map is zoomed in,
and to only occur when I tell it to.
Surely someone solved this sort of thing before. How did you do it?
Cheers,
Craig
