Here's a "vtk cross reference" perl script.

I just finished this, so it may yet need a tweak or two.
Among other things it -

-> Lists all the parent classes from which a given class is derived.

-> Lists all the classes that are directly derived from a class.

-> Lists all the classes to which a particular method name are native.

Description:
	vtkfind, Version 1.
	Scans files in the vtk source directory to report information
	about vtk object classes, e.g. all the children with
	inheritance from a base class, or all the parents from
	which a class has inheritet, or to which classes a given
	method name is native to.

Usage: vtkfind [-a] [-c] [-d dir] [-e <edit command>] \\
		[-h] [-m] [-p] [-s] <name>

-a indicates <name> is to remain as is.  When using -h or -s, without
	-a you can leave off the vtk prefix and vtkfind will add it
	for you.  Also, you don't need to worry about capitalization.
	For example, "vtkfind -a SetDebug" would report -
		/opt/vtk/common/vtkObject.h     vtkObject/void SetDebug(...
	and "vtkfind -h object" would report -
		/opt/vtk/common/vtkObject.h
	When using -m without -a, vtkfind does the search case-insensitive,
	but it doesn't automatically prefix "vtk" to <name> for you, since
	few, if any, methods have that prefix.

-c indicates find all the children of the class <name>, i.e. all the
	classes for which <name> is an inherited class.  This option
	is relatively expensive, since all *.e files must be scanned.

-d dir
	Dir is the directory for the vtk source.  The default is /opt/vtk.

-e <edit command>
	Indicates if a filename is found it is to be appended to
	<edit command> and executed.  For example
	"vtkfind -e 'vi -R' -h object" would cause the command
	"vi -R /opt/vtk/common/vtkObject.h" to be executed.
	Use -e in conjunction with -m cautiously.  The command
	"vtkfind -e 'vi -R' insertnextcell" will put in edit on
	four files.

-h indicates the full path to <name>.h is to be found,
	e.g. "vtkfind -h vtkunstructuredgrid" might list
	/opt/vtk/common/vtkUnstructuredGrid.h.  Can be used in
	conjunction with -e (see above).

-m indicates all the *.h files in the vtk source directory (see -d)
	are to be searched to find the classes to which the specified
	method is native.  Can be used in conjunction with -e (see
	above).

-p indicates find all the parents of the class <name>, i.e. all the
	classes from which <name> has inherited.

-s indicates the full path to <name>.cxx is to be found,
	e.g. "vtkfind -s vtkunstructuredgrid" might list
	/opt/vtk/common/vtkUnstructuredGrid.cxx.  Can be used in
	conjunction with -e (see above).
