inplace=truefalse

Specifies whether the changes are applied to the original graph or to a copy. The default is true, meaning the original graph is changed.

The SeidelSwitch command transforms the input graph to a new graph in such a way that, for each specified vertex, its neighbors become its non-neighbors and vice versa.

By default, the original graph is changed and the switching happens in place. By setting inplace=false the original graph remains unchanged.
