New issue 1252: Passing clump data source to YTSurface
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1252/passing-clump-data-source-to-ytsurface

John  Regan:

When passing a clump object to the YTSurface operator I get the error:
AttributeError: 'Clump' object has no attribute 'get_field_parameter'

The script to reproduce this error is here and I was using the IsolatedGalaxy dataset - the one with the potential output included. 
http://paste.yt-project.org/show/6724/

I can by-pass this error by slightly modifying the YTSurface api to allow a center point to be passed in, this should probably be the point of maximum density within the clump.
So 
surf = clump.data.ds.surface(clump, "density", 1e-24, center=center)
but this leads to the next issue
