VTK_MODULE_INIT in 9.0.1 ?

There is a utility to determine the VTK module dependencies for a source file. You can run

python <vtk-source-directory>/Utilities/Maintenance/FindNeededModules.py \
 -j <vtk-build-directory>/modules.json -s <your source file>

Run on the VTK source file Filters/Modeling/Testing/Cxx/TestRotationalExtrusion.cxx, it produces

find_package(VTK
 COMPONENTS
    CommonCore
    FiltersCore
    FiltersModeling
    FiltersSources
    RenderingCore
    TestingCore
    TestingRendering
    # These modules are suggested since they implement an existing module.
    # Uncomment those you need.
    # FiltersParallel         # implements VTK::FiltersCore
    # FiltersParallelGeometry # implements VTK::FiltersCore
    # InteractionStyle        # implements VTK::RenderingCore
    # RenderingFreeType       # implements VTK::RenderingCore
    # RenderingOpenGL2        # implements VTK::RenderingCore
    # RenderingUI             # implements VTK::RenderingCore
)

While this generates a find_package call meant for use in CMake, you can extract the module names listed under COMPONENTS, prepend “vtk” onto them, and you’ve got at least the module dependencies.
