Ok, the code is not that difficult. Downlaod it from below. You will also need the library for the VL53L0X sensor. So downlaod that from the link below as well adn install it to the Arduino. In the cose we make steps, make a measurement and print the angle adn distance to the serial communication and then we make more steps and so on till we get to 360 degrees. Then we use processing to read and plot the distance.
