You can do it by using a DisplayImplJ3D, and passing a
ConstantMap to ZAxis in the call to display.addReference().
If you don't want 3-D perspective, do something like:

  GraphicsModeControl mode = display.getGraphicsModeControl();
  mode.setProjectionPolicy(DisplayImplJ3D.PARALLEL_PROJECTION);

Cheers,
Bill
