can I draw 3d surface plot using OpenGL in Android?

Question

I receive real-time data from HC-05 Bluetooth and I want to show this data in a 3D surface chart, there were few libraries but I want to do it myself. I can make Pyramids and Cubes but I am confused with the Surface chart. how can I draw shapes like the surface charts in OpenGL?

Oh, I've done one of those for the Treasury yield curve. Since you say you can do cubes, than all you have to do is make a grid of them, right next to each other, with the top four points of each aligned with the X and Z axis, and rotate them all 45 degrees. Don't worry about the bottom parts of the cubes that are not visable, they will get z-sorted out of view. The hardest part will be the labels, so I suggest you prerender 20 textures, that is, 0 to 90, and 100 to 900, then slap them on the sides of white cubes. For the tray, just make a bunch of long grey cube 2 pixels thick...
