How to draw vis.js network in deterministic way?

I have a JavaScript array where I store states of a network (for my application, each state is a different vis.js network). My problem is, when I draw each state, it is drawn randomly. So, I would like to know if it's possible stablish a seed or something that allows draw a network in deterministic way (I want always starts drawing the same thing with the same shape).

The goal is drawing each state seems a new node and some edges has been added, without it seems network has moved.

Is there any way to get it?

Thanks!

Hey this might help but you do have the ability in the options to stipulate a randomSeed that does a deterministic drawing of your graph, other options also exist that allow a hierarchical layout and directions.

Please see the following list for all options and explanations: http://visjs.org/docs/network/layout.html.

var options = {
        layout: {
            randomSeed: 1,
            improvedLayout: true,
            hierarchical: {
                direction: 'LR',        // UD, DU, LR, RL
                sortMethod: 'directed'   // hubsize, directed
            }
        }
    }
