@totte_karlsson glad you found this answer. I would like to complete a bit, because since then VTK has evolved.  
If memory is important to you, it is now possible to instantiate a `vtkPointSet` instead of a `vtkPolyData`, see the related discussion [here](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/proposal-adding-a-vtkpointcloud-data-structure/3872/17)
