[OpenLayers-Users] Cluster strategy : cluster coord update proposition

[Didrik Pinte]

The cluster (x,y) position is created using the first feature.geometry
coordinates. To have a cluster that is "at the center" of the data it
clusters, I would propose to update its position using all the feature
added to the cluster. Something like this :

     addToCluster: function(cluster, feature) {
+        //update pos of the cluster to the mean pos of the features
+        var bounds = cluster.geometry.getBounds();
+        bounds.extend(feature.geometry.getBounds(););
         cluster.cluster.push(feature);
         cluster.attributes.count += 1;
+        cluster.geometry = bounds.getCenterLonLat();
     },

What do you think about that ? Interesting or not ? Is it worth
submitting a patch for it ?
