Plotfiles and Other Output
==========================

The following inputs must be preceded by "amr" and control frequency and naming of plotfile generation as well
as whether the EB geometry should be written out.

|                     | if -1 then no plotfiles will be written at this frequency             |             |           |
| plot_per_exact      | Time period of plotfile output (exact); will modify dt                |    Real     | -1        |
|                     | if -1 then no plotfiles will be written at this frequency             |             |           |
| plot_per_approx     | Time period of plotfile output (approximate); does not modify dt      |    Real     | -1        |
