[vtkusers] Resizing vtkSliderRepresentation2D

[Eric E. Monson]

The other place where I run into trouble with this issue is when I try to change the size/placement of the widget. I make calls like this (sliderRep is an instance of vtkSliderRepresentation2D, python code):

sliderRep.GetPoint1Coordinate().SetCoordinateSystemToNormalizedDisplay()
sliderRep.GetPoint1Coordinate().SetValue(0.1 ,0.07)
sliderRep.GetPoint2Coordinate().SetCoordinateSystemToNormalizedDisplay()
sliderRep.GetPoint2Coordinate().SetValue(0.9, 0.07)

but even after trying the naive methods of re-rendering the widget and window:

sliderWidget.Render()
renderWindow.Render()

the position of the slider isn't updated until I interact with the window.
