How can I show a subset of data on pie pieces in Chart.JS while still displaying the superset when hovering?

Question

I\'ve got a pie chart that looks like this when hovering over a piece of pie:

Except for wanting the legend to the right instead of on top, I\'m fairly cont

The following solution is using the same calculation as lamelemon's but using Chart.js plugins, which brings additional benefits :

• There is no longer this blink effect caused by the animation.onComplete since it occurs immediatly without waiting for antything.

• The tooltip is above the text, which is more natural.

Follows the plugin that does it :

Chart.pluginService.register({
    afterDatasetsDraw: function(chartInstance) {

        // We get the canvas context
        var ctx = chartInstance.chart.ctx;

        // And set the properties we need
        ctx.font = Chart.helpers.fontString(14, 'bold', Chart.defaults.global.defaultFontFamily);
        ctx.textAlign = 'center';
        ctx.textBaseline = 'bottom';
        ctx.fillStyle = '#666';

        // For ervery dataset ...
        chartInstance.config.data.datasets.forEach(function(dataset) {

            // For every data in the dataset ...
            for (var i = 0; i < dataset.data.length; i++) {

                // We get all the properties & values we need
                var model = dataset._meta[Object.keys(dataset._meta)[0]].data[i]._model,
                    total = dataset._meta[Object.keys(dataset._meta)[0]].total,
                    mid_radius = model.innerRadius + (model.outerRadius - model.innerRadius) / 2,
                    start_angle = model.startAngle,
                    end_angle = model.endAngle,
                    mid_angle = start_angle + (end_angle - start_angle) / 2;

                // We calculate the right positions for our text
                var x = mid_radius * 1.5 * Math.cos(mid_angle);
                var y = mid_radius * 1.5 * Math.sin(mid_angle);

                // We calculate the percentage
                var percent = String(Math.round(dataset.data[i] / total * 100)) + "%";
                // And display it
                ctx.fillText(percent, model.x + x, model.y + y);
            }
        });
    }
});
