    I don't think any such functions exist, most of those values are written to the 'art_param.txt' file that is read by the 'artwork' external command for file generation

    If you are looking to get the params, you can use  axlGetParam("artwork:filmfilename")

    To create a film record, use axlFilmCreate.

    If you are trying to change a parameter, you might need to grab the current params, delete the film record and add it back in with the changes.

    You can delete a film record with axlDeleteObject("artwork:filmfilename")

    Thank you jwhend. Actually I was looking for accessing the window as shown in the above Pic. However looks like there is no AXL function as David says the same.
