Attribute to control inside-text-anchor in pie and sunburst

[archmoj]

When setting insidetextorientation to horizontal, radial or tangential, by default the text is positioned at 3, 6, 9, 12 hours if it fits within the sector. And if not, the text would be positioned in the middle of the arc (i.e .similar to auto option).
However, some users (see https://community.plot.ly/t/sunburst-chart-edit-text/35509) prefer to force the text to stay in the middle.
This could be achieved by adding a new attribute called insidetextanchor which defaults to center with auto insidetextorientation and defaults auto with other insidetextorientation options.

I have my data like this:

var data = [ { "type": "sunburst", "maxdepth": 2, "ids": unpack(rows, 'ids'), "labels": unpack(rows, 'labels'), "parents": unpack(rows, 'parents'), "values": unpack(rows, 'values'), //"leaf": {"opacity": 0.4}, //"marker": {"line": {"width": 2}}, "branchvalues": 'total', //"textposition": 'inside', "insidetextorientation": 'radial', "insidetextanchor": 'middle', "textfont": {"color": "white"} }]

It's still not on the "middle" or "center" am I missing something?

Thanks,
Dom

@domgomez no you are not missing something.
There is no attribute to control that at the moment.
And that's the reason why this is a feature request.

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying! :)

No one is working on this at the moment as far as I know, but we would welcome a pull-request :)

@nicolaskruchten Thanks for quick response. I will try and raise a PR for same.
Can you help me with pointers for #5561?

Hi - we are trying to tidy up the stale issues and PRs in Plotly's public repositories so that we can focus on things that are still important to our community. Since this one has been sitting for several years, I'm going to close it; if it is still a concern, please add a comment letting us know what recent version of our software you've checked it with so that I can reopen it and add it to our backlog. Thanks for your help - @gvwilson
