Displaying resources using multiple visualization dimensions

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to arranging resource representations in multiple visual dimensions according to two or more attributes associated with the resources. In aspects, a user interface receives input that associates attributes with visualization dimensions. The user interface may also receive filter input that indicates criteria to use to filter the resources. After receiving the input, the user interface may then display the representations according to the attributes, visualization dimensions, and filter, if any. For the visualization dimensions displayed, resources with different attributes are displayed such that they can be distinguished from each other in a manner that is consistent with their attributes. This may be done spatially, by color, by size or shape, or in some other visually distinguishing manner.
