The paper is a part of the DRR-program \textit{F.~Dumortier, R.~Roussarie}, and \textit{C.~Rousseau} [J. Differential Equations 110, 86--133 (1994; Zbl 0802.34028)] to prove the finiteness part of Hilbert's 16th problem for quadratic vector fields by showing the finite cyclicity of 121 graphics. In the paper, the finite cyclicity of 4 graphics passing through a triple nilpotent point of elliptic type surrounding a center, namely the graphics (\(H^1_7\)), (\(F^1_{7a}\)), (\(H^3_{11}\)), and (\(I^1_{6a}\)), is proved. These four graphics are of pp-type, in the sense that they join two parabolic sectors of the nilpotent point. The exact cyclicity is 2 for the graphics (\(H^1_7\)) and (\(H^3_{11}\)). The graphics (\(F^1_{7a}\)) and (\(I^1_{6a}\)) occur in continuous families. Their exact cyclicity is 2 except for a discrete subset of such graphics. The method can be applied to most other graphics of the DRR-program through a triple nilpotent point and surrounding a center.
