Ok, but it often happens that what you want to show are the most relevant public AND private members, and hide the others.

I do not know how the program is engineered, but it should not be such a hard task. When something is shown in a diagram (e.g. a class), it should have an associated object that contains its position, size, etc. There should be such an object for every representation of that "thing" (e.g. the class) in the UML diagrams. 
Now, what I think should be done, is to add a bit for each member to this data structure. If it's 1, show the member, otherwise hide it...

This would allow to draw diagrams that are much more synthetic and to the point, i.e. they could focus on what the diagrams' author was thinking about.
