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)
