"""
display the reference paths for objects in ``dill.types`` or a .pkl file

Notes:
    the generated image is useful in showing the pointer references in
    objects that are or can be pickled.  Any object in ``dill.objects``
    listed in ``dill.load_types(picklable=True, unpicklable=True)`` works.

Examples::

    $ get_objgraph ArrayType
    Image generated as ArrayType.png
