RStudio User Interface

This is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It contains

  • a syntax-highlighting text editor (1. Script) - this is where the code is written.
  • a console to execute code (2. Console), - this is where results and errors are displayed.
  • workspace and history management (3. Environment), - this is where stored variables, dataframes etc. are shown.
  • tools for plotting and exporting images (4. Graphical Output) but also browsing the workspace, managing packages and information about the help functions within RStudio.
