Yes, most of the SDK examples respond to scripting parameters passed in, I would look at the Dissolve filter example. You could run your function and return parameters back to the script via the actions system if you wanted. You will get a history state doing it this way.

There is a PDF called JavaScript Tools Guide CC. Chapter 7, Integrating External Libraries, is the chapter you are looking for.

You can get to the PDF via the ExtendScript ToolKit by using Help -> JavaScript Tools Guide CC.

Thank you sir for the help.

Is it possible to assign ID to function and specifying that ID during executeAction call in script?

Like at the time of executeaction call we will specify pluginID and functionID as parameter so that function will execute from the respective plugin. Is it possible ?

Thanks.
