ggplot(n) returns blank plot

[Fred-White94]

As the title describes. I cannot get the ggplot method to plot my own network or even the network from the tutorial. The network is created and can be visualised (not so nicely) with plot(n) but ggplot(n) returns a blank plot.

library(ggplot2)
library(network)
library(sna)
library(ggnetwork)
n <- network(rgraph(10, tprob = 0.2), directed = FALSE)

n %v% "family" <- sample(letters[1:3], 10, replace = TRUE)
n %v% "importance" <- sample(1:3, 10, replace = TRUE)

e <- network.edgecount(n)
set.edge.attribute(n, "type", sample(letters[24:26], e, replace = TRUE))
set.edge.attribute(n, "day", sample(1:3, e, replace = TRUE))

theme_blank

ggnetwork(n, layout = "fruchtermanreingold", cell.jitter = 0.75)
ggnetwork(n, layout = "target", niter = 100)

ggplot(n)

Hi @Fred-White94 — The tutorial you mention shows you how to use geom_edges and geom_nodes in order to draw the actual graph. On its own, ggnetwork will show neither.
