This sample is outdated. Clustering has already been implemented in the JS API via the setFeatureReduction() method, so creating a custom layer is unnecessary. Please see the Basic clustering sample.
Point clustering has been implemented in this sample with a custom layer named extras.ClusterLayer. This custom layer subclasses esri.layers.GraphicsLayer. Symbology for clusters is managed using renderers. A class breaks renderer is recommended. For constructor options, public properties as well as layer methods, please refer to the comments in the ClusterLayer.js file.
