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

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

The previous step does not have the bottom text flipped yet
