I'm pretty new to R programming. I'm using R studio, and all of a sudden it's no longer showing the workspace, it's only showing the console.
This is what it is supposed to look like
And this is what mine looks like now.
In Eclipse, whenever the workspace gets out of wack, I can just reset the perspective and everything it back to normal. I can't figure out how to do that in R Studio.
The default layout seemed to disappear after I restarted my computer.
Can you try saving an image of your workspace? Below are a couple of links that might help.
My computer is set up already in such a way that it automatically loads up the previous workspace I decided to save. A more qualified person would be able to tell you how and why it retrieves the previous saved image instead of a blank one like yours.
Opening a script file should split the windows horizontaly. If that doesn't work, click on the icon on the top-right corner of the RStudio window showing to windows: 
This should at least show the console and file panels.
To restore the side panels, move your cursor to the extreme right of the window, until the cross arrows cursor appears (
), and drag it to the middle of the screen.
For all panes to be shown, go to View-> Panes and tick show all panes. Otherwise, ctrl+Shift+Alt+0 also worked for me.
