You could now start to learn the Java2D API. Then learn the math involved
in projecting 3D data on a 2D surface, rotation, translation, scaling of
3D data, etc.

Alternatively, you could look for some 3rd party data visualization
toolkit (google ...) which might fit your needs. Or you could look for
similar examples. E.g. there is a very old applet demo which displays
somewire frame data. It might be possible to adapt it.

For either of those options, the OP might want to look at
VGJ. It displays graphs in 3D, with rotation controls.

Assuming you are plotting points that are the same solid
color, so you don't need a z-buffer or depth sort, this
would be all you'd need. The code is very old, somewhat
sloppy, and no longer maintained, but you can find updated
versions elsewhere.
