How to set fix node positions with ggnet2

I am using ggnet2 to visualize networks and I was wondering whether anyone is aware of a way to fix the node positions as it is possible with e.g. igraph (as explained e.g. here How to control the igraph plot layout with Fixed Positions?)

Thanks,
Chris

I had the same problem myself and fixed it by setting the random seed. Apparently ggnet2 randomly distributes the nodes in line with the selected algorithm-mode.
So to get reproducible that is to say identical plots just always use set.seed() before every plot.

e.g.:

set.seed(1)

ggnet2(net)

Thanks @Fabian Sky, I actually used the same hack ... would thus still be helpful to truly fix the node positions
