I don’t understand exactly what you write here. In the figure I see many more nodes than 6. Perhaps first make sure you construct the `Grouped.net` correctly by using `contract` (and `simplify)` as explained in your other question: [How to make a plot that groups different type of nodes by cluster? - #4 by vtraag](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/how-to-make-a-plot-that-groups-different-type-of-nodes-by-cluster/425/4).
