在R 2.14.1中，“by”的参数是什么意思?

Here is my code

这是我的代码

slidingwindowplotATGC = function(windowsize, inputseq) 
{

starts = seq(1, length(inputseq)-windowsize, by = windowsize)
n = length(starts)
chunkGs = numeric(n)
chunkAs = numeric(n)
chunkTs = numeric(n)
chunkCs = numeric(n)
for (i in 1:n) { 
    chunk = windowsize[starts[i]:(starts[i]+9999)]
    chunkG = sum("g" == chunk)/length(chunk)
    chunkA = sum("a" == chunk)/length(chunk)
    chunkT = sum("t" == chunk)/length(chunk)
    chunkC = sum("c" == chunk)/length(chunk)
  chunkGs[i] = chunkG
    chunkAs[i] = chunkA
  chunkTs[i] = chunkT
  chunkCs[i] = chunkC
}   
plot(starts,chunkGs,type="b",ylim=c(min(min(chunkAs),min(chunkTs),min(chunkCs),min(chunkGs)),max(max(chunkAs),max(chunkTs),max(chunkCs),max(chunkGs))),col = "red")
points(starts,chunkTs,col = "blue")
points(starts,chunkAs,col = "green")
points(starts,chunkCs)
