Just what it says, I tried some other styles of tags, but they weren't as low profile or secure as I'd like.

Just what it says, I tried some other styles of tags, but they weren't as low profile or secure as I'd like. This way the tag can't be rubbed/dragged off the cord, and with both end attached, it will be streamlined, almost snag free.
I did just a handful of tags that I needed, 8mm or 9mm text height, they work well for the average power cords out there.
I will add to it as I need them, or use cases occur to me. Or as I get requests, for those that can't/won't use OpenSCAD.
Please note, the BOSL2 Library IS REQUIRED to run this script!

Parametric for font(Dingbat friendly with adjustments), size, zip tie holes on both ends, etc. Full list of parameters;
//Parameters, and their default settings.
//Text Height in mm.
TextSize=9;

String = "LAPTOP";
//Literal scale of length of characters... 1.0=100% adjsuts length of tag base.
TagLengthScalar=1.0;
// another way to adjust length of base. positive or negative numbers. 1 unit is half TextSize, or roughly half one character long, more or less, except in dingbats.. they are non standard
LengthPadding=0;
//Padding for height of tag, ie, if you use emoji or dingbats that are Not to point or mm specs. Accomodates taller text. This one is 1= 1mm.
WidthPadding=0;
//Width of the rim around the text.
Rim=0.8;
//Thickness of the tag. Text and rim height is half this.
Thickness=1.8;
//Font to use. Dingbats welcome, if you have them!
FONT="Constantia:style=Bold Italic";//["Constantia:style=Bold Italic", "Helvetica"]
//what is the bottom of the text? Base line is as if the text was typed on a line.. ycenter is center of its height. More or less. baseline is default.
