Understanding a C++ codebase by generating UML - tools&methology [closed]

Question

I think there are many tools that can generate UML and similar diagrams from C++ (source-code), but I think it is not so easy to make sense of what you get out?

I am looking for good tools/procedures.

For example I might want to see the GUI-layer and how it is separated (or not from the rest). Think the tools should somehow help me detect packages, and also let me manually organize it.

I think Doxygen only analyses the code, and that I would need to annotate the code itself? – Tacye

What would Rational Rose do more than producing UML? – Tacye
