two-dimensionally
On a plane
In a manner having only two dimensions—length and width without depth.
The term applies literally to flat surfaces and representations: The map displays terrain two-dimensionally.
Figuratively, it describes something lacking depth or complexity: The villain was written two-dimensionally, with no real motivation.
