vtkBoxWidget2 shows a bounding box outline, the face of the box can be picked and moved to scale the object inside the bounding box.
After rotating, translating, and scaling, we can ensure the inside item change shape and position with the box widget.
It sounds so good that user can widen and narrow the item conveniently by a visible bounding box.

The algorithm generates a new transform after dragging face of the bounding box can be found in the VTK source.
It uses points on bounding box and center point to calculate the vector to translate and new normal to rotate (construct new matrix), relative zoom in/out rate to scale.
