I understand the importance of visualizing data in a three-dimensional space. There are many options available for 3D plotting on a Mac, and the best one for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

Some popular options for 3D plotting on Mac include MATLAB, Python with the matplotlib library, and the open-source software, R. These programs offer a variety of tools and features for creating high-quality 3D plots.

If you are looking for a user-friendly option, I would recommend trying Grapher, which is a built-in program on Mac that allows for 3D plotting and visualization of data. It also has a simple interface and various customization options.

Ultimately, the best option for you will depend on the type of data you are working with, your level of experience with plotting software, and your budget. I suggest researching and comparing different options to find the one that best suits your needs.
