D3.js arc.centroid() Function

The arc.centroid() function is used to compute the midpoint of the centerline of the arc. The midpoint that is generated is calculated using (startAngle+endAngle)/2 and (innerRadius+outerRadius)/2.

Syntax:

arc.centroid(arguments);

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below.

  • arguments: These are the arbitrary arguments.

Return Values: This function return an array containing the points.
