Gauge D3.js display value at the top of the needle

I'm kinda new to D3.js, and I managed to create a gauge with what I found on the Internet. But I couldn't find any gauge showing the current value at the top of the needle. Something like this : what I want

Obviously I'd like the value to follow the needle. I tried to add "text" attribute to the needle itself, but it didn't work.

Here's a codepen link : http://codepen.io/kazu_codepen/pen/wGmGjv?editors=1010

Here's my js code :

// data which need to be fetched

var name = "azerty";

var value = 17;


var gaugeMaxValue = 100; 

// data to calculate 
var percentValue = value / gaugeMaxValue; 

////////////////////////

var needleClient;



(function(){

var barWidth, chart, chartInset, degToRad, repaintGauge,
    height, margin, numSections, padRad, percToDeg, percToRad, 
    percent, radius, sectionIndx, svg, totalPercent, width;



  percent = percentValue;

  numSections = 1;
  sectionPerc = 1 / numSections / 2;
  padRad = 0.025;
  chartInset = 10;

  // Orientation of gauge:
  totalPercent = .75;

  el = d3.select('.chart-gauge');

  margin = {
    top: 20,
    right: 20,
    bottom: 30,
    left: 20
  };

  width = el[0][0].offsetWidth - margin.left - margin.right;
  height = width;
  radius = Math.min(width, height) / 2;
  barWidth = 40 * width / 300;



  //Utility methods 

  percToDeg = function(perc) {
    return perc * 360;
  };

  percToRad = function(perc) {
    return degToRad(percToDeg(perc));
  };

  degToRad = function(deg) {
    return deg * Math.PI / 180;
  };

  // Create SVG element
  svg = el.append('svg').attr('width', width + margin.left + margin.right).attr('height', height + margin.top + margin.bottom);

  // Add layer for the panel

  arc2 = d3.svg.arc().outerRadius(radius - chartInset).innerRadius(radius - chartInset - barWidth)
  arc1 = d3.svg.arc().outerRadius(radius - chartInset).innerRadius(radius - chartInset - barWidth)

  repaintGauge = function () 
  {
    perc = 0.5;
    var next_start = totalPercent;
    arcStartRad = percToRad(next_start);
    arcEndRad = arcStartRad + percToRad(perc / 3);
    next_start += perc / 3;


    arc1.startAngle(arcStartRad).endAngle(arcEndRad);

    arcStartRad = percToRad(next_start);
    arcEndRad = arcStartRad + percToRad(perc / 3);
    next_start += perc / 3;

    arc2.startAngle(arcStartRad + padRad).endAngle(arcEndRad);

    arcStartRad = percToRad(next_start);
    arcEndRad = arcStartRad + percToRad(perc / 3);

    arc3.startAngle(arcStartRad + padRad).endAngle(arcEndRad);

    chart.select(".chart-first").attr('d', arc1);

Here's an updated codepen

Changes made:

1) As part of initialization, create element valueText

valueText = chart.append("text")
                .attr('id', "Value")
                .attr("font-size",16)
                .attr("text-anchor","middle")
                .attr("dy",".5em")
                .style("fill", '#000000');

2) Also at initialization, create formatValue, to format percent

formatValue = d3.format('1%');

3) At each frame of the transition, compute the position of the text. It adds an offset of 45 units to self.len (the needle's length) to move the text outwards.

var thetaRad = percToRad(progress / 2);
var textX = - (self.len + 45) * Math.cos(thetaRad);
var textY = - (self.len + 45) * Math.sin(thetaRad);

4) Translate valueText based on the computed position and update its text from current progress

valueText.text(formatValue(progress))
  .attr('transform', "translate("+textX+","+textY+")")

Well, I found out something waiting for a better solution.

I'm using this : 

var trX = 180 - 210 * Math.cos(percToRad(percent / 2)); 
var trY = 195 - 210 * Math.sin(percToRad(percent / 2));
// (180, 195) are the coordinates of the center of the gauge.

displayValue = function() {
                texts.append("text")
                    .text(function(){
                        return dataset[0].value;
                    })
                    .attr('id', "Value")
                    .attr('transform', "translate(" + trX + ", " + trY+ ")")
                    .attr("font-size",18)
                    .style("fill", '#FB0006');
            }

[...] then calling this : 

setTimeout(displayValue, 1350);

So that it doesn't appear right away, but when the needle has stopped at its position.

It works, in the way that the value appears on the top of the needle, but I still have two problems. I'd really like it to follow the needle all the way long during the needle animation when it goes to its value, and I'd like something more general than using the coordinates I found out by calculating, is there a function which can give me the center of the gauge for example ?

I edited the pen given above to that version of the gauge. (http://codepen.io/kazu_codepen/pen/wGmGjv?editors=1010)

Anyway, this solution doesn't really fit my expectations, but I'll use it till I can find something better.
