However, this application is not a Visual Statistics Studio native program and is not able to differentiate between data vectors of different lengths. In this case you have to isomerize data by invoking the (Modify, Isomerize) commands

 

before clicking the Stereoimages command

selecting the Image Data on Vector Display option,

 

selecting the Frequency variable (sine its argument), and clicking the Accept command, the frequency distribution can be visualized as
