    <p>
        The <a href="https://yandex.ru/dev/jsapi-v2-1/doc/en/v2-1/dg/concepts/geoobjects#clusters">clusterer</a> is used for combining closely positioned placemarks in a group (cluster).
    </p>
    <p>
        The clusterer is implemented by the <a href="https://yandex.ru/dev/jsapi-v2-1/doc/en/v2-1/ref/reference/Clusterer">Clusterer</a> class. The clusterer options can be passed to the constructor as parameters: the style of the cluster icon, the size of its cell, and so on. For the list of available options, see the corresponding <a href="https://yandex.ru/dev/jsapi-v2-1/doc/en/v2-1/ref/reference/Clusterer#constructor-summary">section</a> in the reference guide.</p>
    <p>
        To add geo objects to the clusterer, use the <a href="https://yandex.ru/dev/jsapi-v2-1/doc/en/v2-1/ref/reference/Clusterer#add">add</a> method. Either a separate geo object or an array of geo objects can be passed as the parameter.
    </p>
    <p>
        It is often necessary to show information about an object that is in the cluster. In such cases, you can open the cluster balloon with the appropriate placemark selected.
