[NTG-context] Large unwanted white space

[NTG-context] Large unwanted white space

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1709 bytes --]

Hi,
I don't know if I will explain my problem clearly but I will try. For my
students' tests, I use a master file. If I insert this piece of code, there
is a large white space that is created between the horizontal line of the
header and the first exercise.
Thanks for your help.
Fabrice

\startMPcode
  def suite (expr n, t) =
  begingroup
   numeric u;
   u := 5mm;
   pickup pencircle scaled 5pt;
   for i=0 upto n:
     for j=0 upto n:
         drawdot (i*u,j*u) shifted(t*u,0) withcolor \MPcolor{darkred};
     endfor
   endfor
  endgroup
  enddef;

  def Suite (expr n, t) =
  begingroup
  numeric u;
  u := 5mm;
  pickup pencircle scaled 5pt;
  for i=0 upto n:

  endfor

If I’m not wrong, \startMPcode immediately executes the code.
I don’t know why it does if it only contains definitions.

Try \startMPinitializations (executed for every MP instance) or 
\startMPdefinitions (only once).

\startMPcode makes an image so it will take space

for definitions use \startMPdefinitions
