How to use z axis?

I have a code, which imports a brain image, I wanted to know that can how can I use the third axis, i-e z axis, (far and near axis) so that I can position the image facing upwards,(not facing user) so that outline of image is visible.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.URL;

public class Brain extends JComponent {

    static int x = 200;
    static int y = 200;
    static int currentAngle = 0;
    static double hspeed, vspeed;
    static int speed = 0;
    double hangle, vangle;
    Image brain;

    Image getImage(String filename) {
        URL url = getClass().getResource(filename);
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(url);
        return icon.getImage();
    }

    public Brain() {
        brain = 开发者_C百科getImage("brainz.png");
    }

    public void CreateBase() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("BRAIN");
        frame.setBounds(70, 30, 650, 500);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container c = frame.getContentPane();
        c.add(new Brain());
        frame.addKeyListener(new adapter());
        c.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
    }

    public void rotate() {
        currentAngle += 1;
        if (currentAngle >= 360) {
            currentAngle = 0;
        }
        repaint();
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        super.paint(g);
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        AffineTransform origXform = g2d.getTransform();
        AffineTransform newXform = (AffineTransform) (origXform.clone());
        newXform.rotate(Math.toRadians(currentAngle), x, y);
        g2d.setTransform(newXform);
        g2d.drawImage(brain, x, y, this);
        g2d.setTransform(origXform);
        repaint();
    }

    class adapter extends KeyAdapter {

        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {

            switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
                case KeyEvent.VK_LEFT:
                    currentAngle--;
                    repaint();
                    break;
                case KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT:
                    currentAngle++;
                    repaint();
                    break;
                case KeyEvent.VK_UP:
                    speed++;
                    hangle = Math.toRadians(currentAngle);
                    vangle = Math.toRadians(currentAngle);
                    hspeed = ((double) speed) * Math.cos(hangle);
                    vspeed = ((double) speed) * Math.sin(vangle);
                    x = x - (int) hspeed;
                    y = y - (int) vspeed;
                    repaint();
                    break;
                case KeyEvent.VK_DOWN:
                    speed--;
                    hangle = Math.toRadians(currentAngle);
                    vangle = Math.toRadians(currentAngle);
                    hspeed = ((double) speed) * Math.cos(hangle);
                    vspeed = ((double) speed) * Math.sin(vangle);
                    x = x + (int) hspeed;

        br.CreateBase();

As @mre said, the 3D API does what you need.

But to answer closer to your original code, your upwards-facing image would look something like this, right?

.             ------
.            /      \
.           /        \
.          /          \
.          ------------

Well that is a trapezium which can be calculated using a perspective transform. It doesn't fall into the class of AffineTransforms that you have used. The matrix looks something like this:

r  =   [ 1   -x/c ] . r0
       [ 0     1  ] 

Java advanced imaging API has the transform that you need: javax.media.jai.PerspectiveTransform
