I think "best" is really subjective, but eclipse and eclipse CDT have loads of plugins.

This thread is probably relevant.

If you want a thing of absolute beauty shell out the money for Klockwork.

EDIT:Thought I would add this since the user complained about requiring an IDE. I would really rather do it from an IDE myself, but there are other options.

as i understand the thread you post it only let me to do the work by my self,but i need a tool that auto generate a tree only by giving it the source code of the application. i am trying to understand an application that written by some developer,and money is an issue. – Fathy Mar 1 '12 at 2:25
generation of UML from code is EXACTLY what you are asking for – Call me V Mar 1 '12 at 2:26
the procedure would be something like import the source code you're examining into an eclipse project and run any of the plug-ins listed – Call me V Mar 1 '12 at 2:27
is there any apps other than eclipse that generate UML, sorry but am new in this field. – Fathy Mar 1 '12 at 2:46
re-read my answer. the link references both plug-ins and BoUML. I added doxygen to the answer. I'm not sure what else you could possibly be expecting – Call me V Mar 1 '12 at 2:50
