Hi Michael,
You can use "make_node_legend = FALSE" and "make_edge_legend = FALSE".
One issue you might run into is that the plots without a legend are slightly bigger than those with one since the plots will expand to fit the plotted area. I dont have a good solution to this at the moment. You can either scale the non-legend plots to be a bit bigger or leave the legend on all of them and remove all but one manually in inkscape/photoshop in a pdf output.
I hope that helps. I would like to make a function for multiple plots to make this kind of thing easier.
Best,
Zach
