<br />

    tf.image.random_flip_left_right(
        image, seed=None
    )

With a 1 in 2 chance, outputs the contents of `image` flipped along the
second dimension, which is `width`. Otherwise output the image as-is.
When passing a batch of images, each image will be randomly flipped
independent of other images.

#### Example usage:

    image = np.array([[[1], [2]], [[3], [4]]])
    tf.image.random_flip_left_right(image, 5).numpy().tolist()
    [[[2], [1]], [[4], [3]]]

Randomly flip multiple images.

    images = np.array(
    [
        [[[1], [2]], [[3], [4]]],
        [[[5], [6]], [[7], [8]]]
    ])
    tf.image.random_flip_left_right(images, 6).numpy().tolist()
    [[[[2], [1]], [[4], [3]]], [[[5], [6]], [[7], [8]]]]

For producing deterministic results given a `seed` value, use
[`tf.image.stateless_random_flip_left_right`](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r2.13/api_docs/python/tf/image/stateless_random_flip_left_right). Unlike using the `seed` param
with `tf.image.random_*` ops, `tf.image.stateless_random_*` ops guarantee the
same results given the same seed independent of how many times the function is
called, and independent of global seed settings (e.g. tf.random.set_seed).

<br />

<br />

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `image` | 4-D Tensor of shape `[batch, height, width, channels]` or 3-D Tensor of shape `[height, width, channels]`. |
| `seed` | A Python integer. Used to create a random seed. See [`tf.compat.v1.set_random_seed`](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r2.13/api_docs/python/tf/compat/v1/set_random_seed) for behavior. |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| ## Returns ||
|---|---|
| A tensor of the same type and shape as `image`. ||

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| ## Raises ||
|---|---|
| `ValueError` | if the shape of `image` not supported. |
