	This tool works only with a perfectly symmetrical mesh (along the local X axis).	Mirrors the vertex group weights.
	Those vertices that have no corresponding vertex on the other side will not be affected.	See :ref:`Mirror Vertex Group <bpy.ops.object.vertex_group_mirror>` for more information.

	Mirror Weights
	With this option checked, every selected vertex receives
	the group/weight information of its symmetrical counterpart.
	If both vertices are selected, it will be a group/weight information exchange;
	if only one is selected, information from the unselected will be copied into the selected one,
	that loses its own information. Information on group/weight is passed for the active group only,
	unless All Groups is checked, in which case it is passed for all groups.
	Flip Groups Names
	Works with selected vertices that belong to vertex groups with "symmetrical names"
	(with components like "L", "R", "right", "left").
	All selected vertices that belong to the active group, or to the symmetrical of the active group,
	will have their assignation to that group replaced by an assignation to the symmetrical one;
	however, its weight will be preserved.
	All Groups
	If All Groups is checked, all assignations to these kind of groups
	will be replaced by the symmetrical counterpart, also keeping the old weights.
	Topology Mirror
	Mirror for meshes which are not fully symmetric.
	See :ref:`here <modeling_meshes_editing_topology-mirror>` for more information.

	Usually only one of those operations (Mirror Weights or Flip Groups Names)
	will be performed, though you can activate both at the same time,
	if you know what you are doing (these two operations could even cancel each other).
