Is there a way to toggle MarkerClustererPlus

Question

I use MarkerClustererPlus for clustering markers on google map (v3)

Is there a way to toggle clustering with a function. Namely I dont wont to effect markers, but only toggle visibility of cluster icons.

For showing it we have property - repaint, but I couldnt find the property to hide clusters.

Answer 1

set the map-option of the markerClusterer

clustererObject.setOptions({map:null});//hides the clusterIcons
clustererObject.setOptions({map:mapObject});//restores the clusterIcons

Note: when you set the map to null all clustered markers will appear as markers, I'm not sure if this is the desired behaviour
