This is normal. Most layout algorithms start from a random "seed"
layout and then optimize it one way or another. If you want to
preserve a layout that you like, you can save the result of the layout
algorithm and simply re-use it later in the "layout" argument of the
plot() call instead of specifying the name of a layout algorithm.
