[Paraview] Multiple polydata in same pipeline -- don't always seem centered around same origin

[David E DeMarle]

ParaView draws points and lines slightly offset so that you see
wireframes on top of surfaces.

Try playing with Edit->Settings->Render View->General->Coincident
Topology Resolution to change this behavior.
