[Paraview] Internalisation of, 2D vs 3D

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.
