<p>The functions <code class="code">sombrero</code> and <code class="code">peaks</code> provide a way to check
that plotting is working.  Typing either <code class="code">sombrero</code> or <code class="code">peaks</code>
at the Octave prompt should display a three-dimensional plot.

<pre class="example-preformatted">z = sin (sqrt (x^2 + y^2)) / (sqrt (x^2 + y^2))
</pre></div>

<p>Called without a return argument, <code class="code">sombrero</code> plots the surface of the
above function over the meshgrid [-8,8] using <code class="code">surf</code>.
</p>
<p>If <var class="var">n</var> is a scalar the plot is made with <var class="var">n</var> grid lines.
The default value for <var class="var">n</var> is 41.
</p>
<p>When called with output arguments, return the data for the function
evaluated over the meshgrid.  This can subsequently be plotted with
<code class="code">surf (<var class="var">x</var>, <var class="var">y</var>, <var class="var">z</var>)</code>.

<p>Called without a return argument, <code class="code">peaks</code> plots the surface of the
above function using <code class="code">surf</code>.
</p>
<p>If <var class="var">n</var> is a scalar, <code class="code">peaks</code> plots the value of the above
function on an <var class="var">n</var>-by-<var class="var">n</var> mesh over the range [-3,3].  The
default value for <var class="var">n</var> is 49.
</p>
<p>If <var class="var">n</var> is a vector, then it represents the grid values over which
to calculate the function.  If <var class="var">x</var> and <var class="var">y</var> are specified then
the function value is calculated over the specified grid of vertices.
</p>
<p>When called with output arguments, return the data for the function
evaluated over the meshgrid.  This can subsequently be plotted with
<code class="code">surf (<var class="var">x</var>, <var class="var">y</var>, <var class="var">z</var>)</code>.
