<p class="MsoNormal">Btw, I am a bit confused that why after applying a "2D Glyph" filter and "Glyph Type" as "Vertex", the number of points decreases. For example, if after applying "TableToPoints" filter I have 1 cell and 100k points, I get 502 cells and
502 points after applying a "2D Glyph" filter. I was expecting the number of cells to increase but total number of points should have remained 100k, no? <u></u><u></u></p>
