Looking at the jsfiddle, you are creating the path
elements after you try to append the svg:image
elements to the them. It should be the other way around. You should first create the arcs and then append the images.
Second, as far as I know, the svg:path
element should not contain any svg:image
tags. It doesn't seem to display them if you place some inside. Instead what you should do is create svg:g
tags with class arc
and then use those to place the svg:images
Slightly modifying your jsfiddle could look something like this:
var colours = ['#909090','#A8A8A8','#B8B8B8','#D0D0D0','#E8E8E8'];
var arcs = svg.selectAll("path");
for (var z=0; z<30; z++){
arcs.data(donut(data1))
.enter()
//append the groups
.append("svg:g")
.attr("class", "arc")
.append("svg:path")
.attr("fill", function(d, i) { return colours[(Math.floor(z/6))]; })
.attr("d", arc[z])
.attr("stroke","black")
}
//here we append images into arc groups
var pics = svg.selectAll(".arc").append("svg:image")
.attr("xlink:href", "http://www.e-pint.com/epint.jpg ")
.attr("transform", function(d,i) {
//since you have an array of arc generators I used i to find the arc
return "translate(" + arc[i].centroid(d) + ")"; })
.attr("x",-5)
.attr("y",-10)
.attr("width", "10px")
.attr("height", "20px");
Where I also decreased the size of the images and offset them so that they fit into the arc.
