Well, you can try the following methods of the vtkCubeAxesActor2D
class:

 UseRangesOn()
and
 SetRanges(...)

This will set the range that the axes display to what you set it to
and not use the bounds information.  This means you can scale your
data and make the axes act as if there were no scaling.

It would be nice if VTK could internally have some kind of scale
parameter that says 1 unit on the x axis equals 5 on the given data.
I am not sure this functionality exists and what would be required to
add this.
