Extra information ----------------- .. currentmodule:: objgraph You can add extra information to object graphs, if you desire. For example, let's add object IDs: >>> x = [] >>> y = [x, [x], dict(x=x)] >>> import objgraph >>> objgraph.show_refs([y], extra_info=lambda x: hex(id(x)), ... filename='extra-info.png') Graph written to ....dot (... nodes) Image generated as extra-info.png .. figure:: extra-info.png This way you can then look them up later with :func:`at`, if you desire to get a closer look at a particular object: >>> objgraph.at(id(x)) is x True Warning: this doesn't work with strings or ints or other simple types that aren't tracked by the cyclic garbage collector: >>> a = 'a string' >>> objgraph.at(id(a))
