How to Hide and Show ArcGIS API ClusterLayer on Demand

Question

I followed This API Tutorial to create Cluster Points on the map. Now I would like to have a function to hide them. I already tried like?

clusterLayer.hide();  

but it didn't work! I also tried to bind the clusterLayer to a GraphicsLayer like below

  [var clayer = new esri.layers.GraphicsLayer();  
  clayer.add(clusterLayer);  
  clayer.hide();][1]  

but still not working After hours of working I find a sample on google at this Demo doing the job of switching between Points and Cluster but it is supper complicated to me! Can you please let me know how I can hide and show the cluster layer on demand?

Answer 1

The code you have, namely:

clusterLayer.hide();

.. should work! Here's an example (click the "hide" button I added - at the top): http://jsbin.com/qatihi/edit?html,js,output

Here is the code I added to the sample to make it work (in response to my button):

on(dom.byId("hide"), "click", function() {
    clusterLayer.hide();
}.bind(this));
