You don't say what you want to use it for...do you need a 3d plotting
system for CAD, say?  If on the other hand you are looking for ways
to plot data (statistics) I can recommend the following:  SYSDAT's
plotting package SYGRAPH, and Mathmatica.  Both will let you plot
nice 3-D perspective plots.  SYGRAPH gives you the ability to 
label data points, and Mathmatica can do animated plots.  Another
package, DataDesk, lets you do 3D "constellation" plots that you
can easily rotate, expand and contract.  But it doesn't let you
label data points in any really USEFUL way.
