## Plot the familiar 3-D sombrero function.

## The function plotted is
## @tex
## $$z = { \rm{sin} (\sqrt {(x^2 + y^2)}) \over \sqrt {(x^2 + y^2)} }$$
## @end tex

## @example
## z = sin (sqrt (x^2 + y^2)) / (sqrt (x^2 + y^2))
## @end example
##
## @end ifnottex
## Called without a return argument, @code{sombrero} plots the surface of the
## above function over the meshgrid [-8,8] using @code{surf}.
## 
## If @var{n} is a scalar the plot is made with @var{n} grid lines.
## The default value for @var{n} is 41.
##
## When called with output arguments, return the data for the function
## evaluated over the meshgrid.  This can subsequently be plotted with
## @code{surf (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z})}.
