Hi Carsten,
Pretty cool.
Is it possible to extend the com.bbn.openmap.layer.DeclutterMatrix to
create classes for the different algorithms? The LocationLayer lets
you set the class you want to use as the DeclutterMatrix, so you
could substitute different classes as needed. DeclutterMatrix should
be an interface, of course, but time and history get in the way).
