    You're looking for art of type 'kPluginGroupArt' -- look at AIPluginGroup.h (not the most intuitive name, I know) and that should have everything you need to make one.

     

    I'll warn you, it's a bit rough around the edges, but we use it in our plugin for three or four kinds of custom artwork.

      Hi @sankarl70874946, I don't know what a "typhoon object" is (Maybe you have an extension called "typhoon" that creates them?), but you are on the right track looking into the SDK—with that you can create special plug-in objects I believe.
