Details:

Using ginput on a 3-D plot, such as sombrero, returns x, y values that are not
those of the selected point.  It may be able to transform the values into the
correct ones by working with the azimuth and elevation returned from view(),
but it certainly isn't straightforward.  It's probably easiest to just
document that ginput works best for 2-D plots.
