Hi,
Thanks for your help. I did several tests playing only with the code of
component 5 which interferes with that of component 14.

@Aditya
begingroup;
.....
endgroup;
does not work.

@Hans
save defaultfont, defaultscale;

maybe also:

save circle, p, q, b ;

I get an empty rectangle in place of the graph in composant 5.

@Taco
The solution that works is to add component 14 to the code

numeric a, b;
