A method for adding dimensions to a visual representation is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method obtains a data set containing data in a plurality of rows and columns (i.e., dimensions). The method divides the dimensions into a plurality of groups and determines a coordinate system for each group. For each row in the data set, the method determines data points for each group in the corresponding coordinate system. The method then connects the data points for each row with lines to create a visual representation for the data set. In certain embodiments, each group in the data set utilizes a two-dimensional coordinate system. In other embodiments, each group in the data set utilizes a three-dimensional coordinate system. In yet other embodiments, a mix of two-dimensional coordinate systems and three-dimensional coordinate systems are used. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
