I have a simple vtp file to draw a 2D triangle.

                        </Polys>

                </Piece>
        </PolyData>
</VTKFile>

When I load it with paraview, I get the following message:
"vtkPoints: Number of components is different... can't set data".

If however, I change NumberOfComponents to  3 and append a 0 at the end of
each point's coordinates,
it works fine.
Anything I am missing?

Thanks, Ram.
