[vtkusers] Overlaying simulation results on PNG image

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Artem,

you can use the actor transformation of the PNG image to stretch to
the current value.
As I don't fully understand your problem, I might provide an invalid
answer. But based on the bounds of both your data, you should be able
to determine the scale that you want to apply to the PNG so it could
match the other.

Good luck,

Seb
