[OpenLayers-Users] Grouping Features into "one" feature using Styles or other means

[Jonathan Sawyer]

Christopher et al,

Clustering works for me :) However, is there a way to turn off clustering
dynamically? I.e., call a function to deactivate it, zoom in or out without
clustering, then turn it back on, all without having to drop and reload
layers?

Thanks again in advance!

Jon
