Label outside arc (Pie chart) d3.js

Question

I\'m new to d3.js and I\"m trying to make a Pie-chart with it. I have only one problem: I can\'t get my labels outside my arcs... The labels are positioned with arc.centroid

Answer 1

This was the low-cost answer I was happy with. It pushes all the labels out horizontally (that's where I had the extra space):

g.append("text")
  .attr("transform", function(d) { 
      var pos = arc.centroid(d); 
      return "translate(" + (pos[0] + (.5 - (pos[0] < 0)) * radius) + "," + (pos[1]*2) + ")"; 
  })
  .attr("dy", ".35em")
  .style("text-anchor", function(d) { 
      return arc.centroid(d)[0] > 0 ? "start" : "end";
   })
  .text(function(d) { return d.label; });
