Re: are clusters or clusters colors in MarkerClusterer editable? (API)

[Monsur Hossain]

It sounds like this question would be better suited for the following forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-maps-utility-library-v3

This forum is for the Google APIs Discovery Service, which seems unrelated to your question.

Hi, I am having a debate with some work colleagues.

We are working on this project: http://www.zeroco2.cc/en/map and I want to change the colors of the circles (clusters) make them all blue not in different colors like they are now. Our IT coordinator says it can't be changed, they can not edit that. I really don't know a lot of programming but asked around talked with some IT friends they said it must be editable from the css, went back to them with this recommendation and I got still a "no we can't"...

I took it upon me to find a solution, looked over the source code of the page, found what I believe is the managing script for that:

<script src="http://www.zeroco2.cc/js/markerclusterer.js"></script> so I got that they used MarkerClusterer for Google Maps v3.

Googled that and started reading this page: https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/toomanymarkers Found the library: 

google-maps-utility-library-v3 - Revision 435: /trunk/markerclusterer

found the images

http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer/images/

and saw on our source code page they are using the "m" (m1, m2,...) gallery images:

MarkerClusterer.prototype.MARKER_CLUSTER_IMAGE_PATH_ =
    'http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer/' +
    'images/m';

All I want is to use only one image on the whole map, actually I only want us to use this particular cluster image or color:

http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer/images/m1.png

Actually this is as far my skills got me, now I am stuck, I don't know if the IT developers are just lazy and figured out it will be easier to say it's impossible to change the colors of the clusters and make them all the same (blue color) or it's actually possible (and they thought no one will look into it)

I would really appreciate any help from you guys and maybe a hint on how to teach/tell my colleagues to change this custom formatting and get all clusters in the same color? Maybe one of you guys already edited this map and knows...

 Thanks a lot!

Thank you, I didn't found that forum, and I believe I also found my answer!
