#' A function to compute Vplot matrix
#' 
#' This function computes the underlying matrix shown as a heatmap
#' in Vplots. For each pair of coordinates (x: distance from fragment
#' midpoint to center of GRanges of interest; y: fragment size), the 
#' function computes how many fragments there are. 
#'
#' @param bam_granges GRanges, paired-end fragments
#' @param granges GRanges, regions to map the fragments onto
#' @param cores Integer, nb of threads to parallelize fragments subsetting
#' @param xlims The x limits of the computed Vmat
#' @param ylims The y limits of the computed Vmat
#' @return A table object

#' @param bam_granges GRanges, the paired-end fragments

#' \itemize{
#'     \item 'libdepth+nloci', e.g. the library depth and the number of 
#'     loci used to compute the Vmat;
#'     \item zscore, if relative patterns of fragment density 
#'     are more important than density per se;
#'     \item Alternatively, the Vmat can be scaled to % ('pct'), to 
#'     a chosen quantile ('quantile') or to the max Vmat value ('max').
#' }
#' @param s A float indicating which quantile to use if 'quantile'
#' normalization is chosen
#' @param roll integer, to use as the window to smooth the Vmat rows 
#' by rolling mean.
