Dear all,
Here is the code that almost works:
```julia
using LightGraphs
using GraphPlot
using Colors
# nodes membership
membership = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,1]
nodecolor = [colorant"lightgrey", colorant"orange"]
# membership color
nodefillc = nodecolor[membership]
gplot(g, nodefillc=nodefillc, layout=circular_layout)
```
I would like to emphasize connection between orange nodes, so the end result should be something like this:
How to do it?

Have you tried `edgestrokec` ?
> `edgestrokec`
> Optional. Color for the edge strokes, can be a Vector. Default: `colorant"lightgray"`

I tried but I couldn’t figure the right size of the vector. Actually, I posted the example code in the hope that someone could show how to build the vector.

I figured it out. Here is the final code:
```julia
using LightGraphs
using GraphPlot
using Colors
g = graphfamous("karate")
membership = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,1]
nodecolor = [colorant"lightgrey", colorant"orange"]
nodefillc = nodecolor[membership]
colors = [colorant"lightgray" for i in 1:78]
colors[42] = colorant"orange"
gplot(g, nodefillc=nodefillc, layout=circular_layout, edgestrokec=colors, edgelabel=1:78)
```
