## @deftypefn {Function File} {} sombrero (@var{n})
## Produce the familiar three-dimensional sombrero plot using @var{n}
## grid lines.  If @var{n} is omitted, a value of 41 is assumed.
##
## The function plotted is
##
## @example
## z = sin (sqrt (x^2 + y^2)) / (sqrt (x^2 + y^2))
## @end example
## @seealso{surf, meshgrid, mesh}
