Text on an Arc - Animal Donut Slices - Flipped & Centered Arc Labels
license: mit

This is the final example of the Blog Placing Texts on Arcs with D3.js in which the texts are placed along arcs, they are centered and the bottom half is flipped. All without writing the SVG path notations yourself

Other examples of text along a path from the same blog

forked from nbremer's block: Text on an Arc - Animal Donut Slices - Flipped & Centered Arc Labels
