[Paraview] Displaying an unstructured grid of tetrahedra

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Yes.  All the display modes except volume rendering show only things on
the external surface. If you want to see that interior point, you can run
the extract edges filter to show all of the edges or run the glyph filter
using a 2D glyph of type vertex.
