"""
On the D-Wave system, coupling :math:`J_{i,j}` adds a small bias to qubits :math:`i` and
:math:`j` due to leakage. This can become significant for chained qubits. Additionally,
qubits are biased to some small degree in one direction or another.
Applying a spin-reversal transform can improve results by reducing the impact of possible
analog and systematic errors. A spin-reversal transform does not alter the Ising problem;
the transform simply amounts to reinterpreting spin up as spin down, and visa-versa, for
a particular spin.

"""Composite for applying spin reversal transform preprocessing.
Spin reversal transforms (or "gauge transformations") are applied
by flipping the spin of variables in the Ising problem. After
sampling the transformed Ising problem, the same bits are flipped in the
resulting sample [#km]_.
Args:
sampler: A `dimod` sampler object.
Examples:
This example composes a dimod ExactSolver sampler with spin transforms then
uses it to sample an Ising problem.
>>> # Compose the sampler
>>> base_sampler = dimod.ExactSolver()
>>> composed_sampler = dimod.SpinReversalTransformComposite(base_sampler)
>>> base_sampler in composed_sampler.children
True
>>> # Sample an Ising problem
>>> response = composed_sampler.sample_ising({'a': -0.5, 'b': 1.0}, {('a', 'b'): -1})
>>> print(next(response.data())) # doctest: +SKIP
Sample(sample={'a': 1, 'b': 1}, energy=-1.5)
