Minimal parameter settings

Usually only a few of the parameters described above are needed in the parameter file. The simplest parameter settings for using the flow algorithm for a full 3D horizon with a large sphere as initial guess is
interpolation_order = 2     # Second order interpolation
ahf_active          = "yes"
ahf_flow            = "yes"
ahf_phi             = "yes"
This looks for a non-axisymmetric horizon around the origin with lmax = 8 and using the flow algorithm. It starts with the largest sphere that fits in the 3D grid and outputs 2D grid functions. The other parameters can be used if needed.
