Francisco,

Look at Form class>>extent:depth:fromArray:offset:. There a dozen or so senders of this message in the system that you could look at. The next question is how one arrives at all those strange numbers. If you take a form 

	myForm _ (Form extent: 5 at 5 depth: 8) fillColor: Color blue	"or whatever"

and inspect:

	myForm storeString

you will see something like:

 '(Form
	extent: 5 at 5
	depth: 8
	fromArray: #( 1179010630 1174405120 1179010630 1174405120 1179010630 1174405120 1179010630 1174405120 1179010630 1174405120)
	offset: 0 at 0)'

which you can include in a method somewhere.

Cheers,
Bob
