[Paraview] DatasetTriangleFilter "creating" non-tet cells during volume visualization

[Lisa Avila]

Hi Ken,

I am calling in some expert help on this since I am not the author of 
vtkDataSetTriangleFilter.

Will: when given an input that consists solely of tetrahedra, what does 
vtkDataSetTriangleFilter do? Does it actually copy its output? Can it 
possibly produce non-tetra cells?
