# Now add the a regridded version of the image transformed with scipy.ndimage.affine_transform
# Note that we have to use the inverse of the affine as scipy does `pull` (or `backward`) resampling,
# transforming the output space to the input to locate data, but napari does `push` (or `forward`) direction,
# transforming input to output.
