Solution 1

You can add couple of css lines to the SVG element. You can inline it or have it in a separate style sheet. Just make sure it loads.

svg{
    display: block;
    margin: auto;
}

This will align the SVG to the center of the div.

Solution 2

Just add centering style to your div.

<div  id='canvas' style="text-align:center;"></div>

It will work.

arcs.append('path')
    .attr('d', arc)
    .attr('fill', function (d) {

arcs.append('text')
