; Truncate argument towards 0.0, i.e., takes the `FLOOR` of positive values 
; and the `CEIL` of negative values.
;
; :Examples:
;   Try the main-level program at the end of this file. It does::
;
;      IDL> print, mg_trunc([1.2, -1.2, 0.0])
;                 1          -1           0
;      IDL> print, floor([1.2, -1.2, 0.0])
;                 1          -2           0
;      IDL> print, ceil([1.2, -1.2, 0.0])
;                 2          -1           0
;
; :Returns:
;    array of same type as argument
;
; :Params:
;    x : in, required, type=float/double
;       array containing values to truncate
;-
