The viewport (extended view) needs to be present and inactive for this method to work. The command returns the following codes: \\ 0 - Success \\ 1 - Failure - Corona is not selected as the active renderer \\ 2 - Failure - Corona is already rendering \\ 3 - Failure - No valid docked window available |

 There are several published methods invokable on every ''CScatter'' object. You can list them by executing ''s = CScatter(); showInterfaces s''. Look for the ''ScatterFpInterface'' interface there. It is available since Corona 3. There are several published methods invokable on every ''CScatter'' object. You can list them by executing ''s = CScatter(); showInterfaces s''.

-| ''update'' | ''<interval>timeInterval'' ''<integer>referenceTime'' | Updates scattering of instances for the given non-empty time interval. The specified reference time determines scattering parameters that cannot be interpolated. It is expected to lie in the interval. Returns 0 on success. Returns 1 if the user does not have a valid license. **Currently, only 1 time frame long intervals are supported.** |+| ''update'' | ''<interval>timeInterval'' ''<integer>referenceTime'' | Updates scattering of instances for the given non-empty time interval.

 | ''clear'' | | Clears scattering of instances created by last ''update'' call. Can be called to free allocated resources, but maps depending on the scatter object may be evaluated incorrectly then. | | ''clear'' | | Clears scattering of instances created by last ''update'' call.

 | ''getModelCount'' | | Returns number of all model objects. These are original objects that get instanced by the scatter object. The count is relevant to last ''update'' call. | | ''getModelCount'' | | Returns number of all model objects. These are original objects that get instanced by the scatter object.
