Not the best and the most elegant way to achieve this, but...
you can try math/gnuplot. It can do 3d.
-------------- next part --------------
CC=gcc
CCFLAGS= -g -Wall 
LDFLAGS= -lm -lpthread

target= testgnuplot
objects= testgnuplot.o gnuplot.o

all: $(target)

$(target): $(objects) 
	$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(objects) -o $@ 

%.o: %.c
	$(CC) $(CCFLAGS) -c $< -o $@

clean:
	rm -f $(objects)
	rm -f $(target)

gnuplot.c implements a helper function that invokes gnuplot
to display the acquired data. 

You need to have the gnuplot package installed to take advantage
of this function.

You can reuse it in your program by adding the gnuplot.c and 
gnuplot.h files to your project and calling the function:

int sendDataToGnuplot(int handle, float x0, float dX,
                      double *buffer, int nbOfPointsPerCh,
                      int nbOfCh);

handle is the handle of the acquisition session returned by _PdAquireSubsystem.
x0 is the origin of the x axis
dX is the increment between each points on the x axis
buffer contains the acquired data
nbOfPointsPerCh contains the number of sampels acquired for each channel
nbOfCh contains the number of channels
