[OpenLayers-Users] Styling a point that is made up of multiple points

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Dave,

  What kind of wms server are you using.  MapServer ?  GeoServer ?  Your 
question seems more related to one of theses project since you seem to 
be using a WMS layer.

  One the other hand, if you used a Vector layer instead with a Cluster 
strategy, you could replicate what you need with OpenLayers.  The use of 
Vector features can slow down your application if you have a lot of 
them, though.  See the OpenLayers example (1) for more.

Regards,

Alexandre
