Namely, it first appears, when I load the file, but after I click Glyph or Threshold, the picture emerges, but the Axas Grid & units disapper!

<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect that you do not have any cells in your 3-point data.vtk file. Without cells, there is nothing for ParaView to visualize. This is a common stumbling block for people trying to visualize point data.I suggest after loading your data
applying a Glyph filter. It should show you three spheres colored according to your resistivity array. Now you should be able to apply the Threshold and Slice filters as you would expect.<u></u><u></u></p>
