[Paraview] Internalisation of, 2D vs 3D

[Moreland, Kenneth]

All coordinates of all data sets are defined in 3D Cartesian coordinates.
That's just the way VTK was designed.  Allowing for variable length
coordinates would be a significant burden on many developers.

You will have to pad your coordinates with 0's in the Z components.
