def save_linearSigma(self, filename, blobLen=5):
"""
Generates a plot of how the Sigma parameter changes as we move
along the linear amino acid sequence in blobLen size steps. This uses a sliding window
approach and calculates the average within that window.
Recall that sigma is defined as
NCPR^2/FCR (net charge per residue squared divided by the fraction of charged residues)

Generates a plot of how the mean hydropathy changes as we move

Hydropathy here is calculated using a NORMALIZED Kyte-Doolittle scale, where 1 is
the most hydrophobic and 0 the least.
