It's because most of the filters which operate on 'cells' don't really handle 
the multi-vertex cell type in the way you'd like. Converting the data to 32768 
cells with one point each is the solution. you used to be able to use 
MaskPoints filter to do that, but the singlecellpervertex function is not 
exposed in paraview, so the threshold is one way to do it.

Subject: [Paraview] Point swarm with one cell

I have a point swarm (output from Underworld thermal model), with one cell, and 
32768 points. I cannot seem to get any sort of visualisation from it after 
filtering. If I apply a Threshold filter to 'remove' some of the data, nothing 
shows at all.

If I first apply a Clip filter, but set it outside the range of the data, then 
the result is a dataset with 32768 cells, and 32768 points. 
The Threshold filter works after that.

Why is this?
