Plot readings.

Hi,
I am working with a laser scanner(SICK LMS 200) which scans the object from all 360 degrees. The object is scanned top-to-bottom and then rotated a fixed ammount of degrees to be scanned again. This process is repeated untill the object is scanned from all sides(360 degree). I am able to plot the first readings I get. Is there any way i can rotate the image obtained by a fixed ammount of degrees and plot the new readings? I am a completely new to openGL. Any help would be highly apprieciated. Thanks in advance.
