Markercluster pie charts

The map shows traffic accidents recorded in Oslo, Norway, for the year 2013.

The Leaflet Markercluster plugin is wonderful. Since the markerclusters are divIcons you can put whatever you want inside them using the iconCreateFunction. I wanted my clusters to reveal more information than just the marker count and figured a pie chart would do the job. So I told the iconCreateFunction to do some D3 magic and this is the result.

The example is a bit more complicated than necessary due to how my dataset is structured. But if you take a look at the defineClusterIcon() function you'll see that I use d3.nest() to build a dataset for the pie chart based on a given property from all the cluster's children. Then I pass this dataset over to the bakeThePie() function together with instructions on how to style the chart. The function returns svg markup which in turn is placed inside the divIcon.

Feel free to suggest improvements.

Olá Gisminister, boa tarde,
Suponha que tenho uma base de dados em MySQL no mesmo formato que o "ncc_Traffic_Accident_Casualties.json" com as mesmas colunas. Como poderia utilizá-la para montar no mapa? Muito obrigado.

Hello Gisminister, good afternoon,
Suppose I have a database in MySQL in the same format as the "ncc_Traffic_Accident_Casualties.json" with the same columns. How could use it to mount on the map? Thank you so much.

I want to create about 250 markers. But after certain amount, markers don't seem to appear. How can I solve this problem?

Great piece of code - thanks! I adopted it to show search results in a corpus on the map as pie charts, which was relatively easy to do starting from this code; in that project (TEITOK) the breakdown of the pie chart is not shown as a title, but rather as a table in a popup, given clearer info about each cluster, using markers.on('clustermouseover').

Awesome example! It's just what a needed to show storm severity for multiple rain gauges. Thank you so much!
