## Function to create a data frame (with three columns) from a (sparse) matrix

### Description

`xSM2DF` is supposed to create a data frame (with three columns) from a (sparse) matrix. Only nonzero/nonna entries from the matrix will be kept in the resulting data frame.

### Usage

    xSM2DF(data, verbose = TRUE)

### Arguments

`data` | a matrix or an object of the dgCMatrix class (a sparse matrix)
`verbose` | logical to indicate whether the messages will be displayed in the screen. By default, it sets to TRUE for display

### Examples

    # create a sparse matrix of 4 X 2
    input.file <- rbind(c('R1','C1',1), c('R2','C1',1), c('R2','C2',1),
    c('R3','C2',2), c('R4','C1',1))
    data <- xSparseMatrix(input.file)
    ## Not run:
    # convert into a data frame
    res_df <- xSM2DF(data)
    res_df
