Change segment.color based on edge attribute in ggnetworkmap()

[evhersh]

Is it possible to change the segment colors based on edge attributes in my network object in ggnetworkmap()? I see options to do that for the vertices, but there does not appear to be any options for edges. I also tried creating a vector of colors to feed into the segment.color argument, but it returns an error saying "Aesthetics must be either length 1 or the same as the data (702): colour" despite the fact that I only have 69 edges (not 702).

I tried to make an example here:

# load dataset
data(twitter_spambots)
# create colors to set as edge attributes
cols1 <- brewer.pal(n = 10, name = "Set1")
twitter_spambots %e% "weight" <- sample(cols1, replace = TRUE)

# create a world map
world <- fortify(maps::map("world", plot = FALSE, fill = TRUE))
world <- ggplot(world, aes(x = long, y = lat)) +
  geom_polygon(aes(group = group), color = "grey65",
               fill = "#f9f9f9", size = 0.2)

# view global structure
ggnetworkmap(world, twitter_spambots, segment.color=weight) # does not recognize edge attribute name

#alternately try creating color vector
edge.cols1 <- get.edge.value(twitter_spambots, "weight")

#still doesn't work
ggnetworkmap(world, twitter_spambots, segment.color=edge.cols1)

+1 for this feature! Would be super helpful
