This function creates an HDF AN file annotation of the type specified by the parameter Annotation_type. Use HDF_AN_CREATE to create a data annotation. Currently, the user must write to a newly-created annotation before creating another annotation of the same type. Creating two consecutive annotations of the same type causes the second call to HDF_AN_CREATE to return FAIL (-1)
Syntax
Result = HDF_AN_CREATEF(Annotation_id, Annotation_type)
Return Value
Returns the file annotation identifier (Annotation_id) if successful or FAIL (-1) otherwise.
Arguments

Annotation_type
Type of the file annotation. The file annotation identifier returned can either represent a file label or a file description. Valid values for Annotation_type are:
- 2 = file label
- 3 = file description
