How to add labels into Chart.js canvas plugin?

Question

I\'m using the awesome plugin Chart.js, and I\'m trying to find the way of display labels within each percentage. So I googled it, and I found this pull: https://github.com/

This was my final code. I was trying to display percentages as labels on doughnut

Chart.types.Doughnut.extend({
name: "DoughnutAlt",
draw: function() {
    Chart.types.Doughnut.prototype.draw.apply(this, arguments);
    this.chart.ctx.fillStyle = 'black';
    this.chart.ctx.textBaseline = 'middle';
    this.chart.ctx.textAlign = 'start';
    this.chart.ctx.font="18px Verdana";

    var total = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < this.segments.length; i++) { 
        total += this.segments[i].value;      
    }

    this.chart.ctx.fillText(total , this.chart.width / 2 - 20, this.chart.height / 2, 100);
    for(var i = 0; i < this.segments.length; i++){
        var percentage = ((this.segments[i].value / total) * 100).toFixed(1);
        if( percentage > 3 ){
            var centreAngle = this.segments[i].startAngle + ((this.segments[i].endAngle - this.segments[i].startAngle) / 2),
                rangeFromCentre = (this.segments[i].outerRadius - this.segments[i].innerRadius) / 2 + this.segments[i].innerRadius;
            var x = this.segments[i].x + (Math.cos(centreAngle) * rangeFromCentre);
            var y = this.segments[i].y + (Math.sin(centreAngle) * rangeFromCentre);
            this.chart.ctx.textAlign = 'center';
            this.chart.ctx.textBaseline = 'middle';
            this.chart.ctx.fillStyle = '#fff';
            this.chart.ctx.font = 'normal 10px Helvetica';
            this.chart.ctx.fillText(percentage , x, y);
        }
     }
}
});
