In the olden 8-bit days, we would have to do this in BASIC or assembler with a 3D library that we would have to write ourselves. Then we would run out of memory.
Later on - about a quarter of a century ago - we had VRML which enables anyone to just focus on the what rather than the how. But VRML always needed a plugin to download, which was no fun at all in the dial-up days. We almost had a 3D web, but no, it ended up 2D.
I digress. However, if you want 3D plots without having to reinvent the wheel, three.js is fit for purpose, with the right CodePen example to get you started.

I hear you.
My first real experience with drawing anything was with Postscript, but then I did my fair share of blitting, and a bit of OpenGL. These days I'm just looking to visualise some data in a nice looking way with minimal effort.

Amazing, thanks for the tips.
