How do I make the serial data into a usable image in processing?

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

I am working on a radar project and I have my code for the ardunio running the radar down and all is well. I am getting good data into the serial port and the work is done there.

I want to turn the serial data into a usable image like you see the weather radar on tv and such. The data is there its just a matter of turning it into a image and I have no clue on how to do that. I would appreciate any help provided. I am attaching a image of the data in..

Thanks!

there are actual sites with the codes and everything if you look up Arduino radar which in their case is sonar as they use ultrasonic waves. To display on your computer screen like weather radar you also need a program called processing. Last chapter of UNO starter kit shows it use. You can find it on here. To be able to make it true radar you would need a microwave transmitter/receiver which the average Arduino user does not have. There is a shield available to do true microwave radar I seen a demo. But to display graphs like an oscilloscope you need to learn to use processing @ processing.org they have lots of tutorials.

My adrunio is actually reading the output of a S band microwave transmitter..

I have seen and worked with the ultrasonic sensors but they work in a different manner.

Thanks for the suggestion I will check that out!
