How to display percentages in pie chart (ChartJS)

I am in the development of some graphs with the help of the Chart.js library and among them I am making use of a pie chart or better known with Pie Chart and I am looking for some way to add their respective percentages on the graph as well as the image that I add as an example at the end of the snippet.
Currently the graph is shown but I cannot show their respective percentages.
const pieData = [
{
value: 72,
color: "#4EADEB",
// highlight: "#FF5A5E",
label: "Avance"
},
{
value: 28,
color: "#3F86CB",
//highlight: "#5AD3D1",
label: "Pendiente"
}
];
const pieOptions = {
//Boolean - Whether we should show a stroke on each segment
segmentShowStroke: true,
//String - The colour of each segment stroke
segmentStrokeColor: "#fff",
//Number - The width of each segment stroke
segmentStrokeWidth: 2,
//Number - The percentage of the chart that we cut out of the middle
percentageInnerCutout: 0, // This is 0 for Pie charts
//Number - Amount of animation steps
animationSteps: 100,
//String - Animation easing effect
animationEasing: "easeOutBounce",
//Boolean - Whether we animate the rotation of the Doughnut
animateRotate: true,
//Boolean - Whether we animate scaling the Doughnut from the centre
animateScale: false,
//String - A legend template
legendTemplate:
'<ul class="<%=name.toLowerCase()%>-legend"><% for (var i=0; i<segments.length; i++){%><li><span style="background-color:<%=segments[i].fillColor%>"></span><%if(segments[i].label){%><%=segments[i].label%><%}%></li><%}%></ul>'
};
const pieCtx = document.getElementById("myPieGraph").getContext("2d");
const myPieChart = new Chart(pieCtx).Pie(pieData, pieOptions);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/1.1.1/Chart.js"></script>
<canvas id="myPieGraph" height="120" width="240"></canvas>
Example Image:
Note:
Before the question closes for possible duplication, in this question it seeks to add the percentages but the version they use here is 0.4.0, the version that I am using of ChartJS is 1.1.1.
The use of its properties are different.

Add legend in Doughnut Chart.js

I add doughnut char using chart js library and populate data with ajax call.
Doughtnut is render correctly but there is no legend. According documentation http://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/charts/doughnut.html if a label occurred, data is shown in the legend and tooltip but I have only a tooltip.
This is my js code.
var pieChartCanvas = $('#pieChartPaid').get(0).getContext("2d");
var pieChart = new Chart(pieChartCanvas);
var PieData;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
cache: false,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: '#Url.Action("GetPaidInvoice", "Home")',
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
PieData = data;
var pieOptions = {
//Boolean - Whether we should show a stroke on each segment
segmentShowStroke: true,
//String - The colour of each segment stroke
segmentStrokeColor: "#fff",
//Number - The width of each segment stroke
segmentStrokeWidth: 2,
//Number - The percentage of the chart that we cut out of the middle
percentageInnerCutout: 50, // This is 0 for Pie charts
//Number - Amount of animation steps
animationSteps: 100,
//String - Animation easing effect
animationEasing: "easeOutBounce",
//Boolean - Whether we animate the rotation of the Doughnut
animateRotate: true,
//Boolean - Whether we animate scaling the Doughnut from the centre
animateScale: false,
//Boolean - whether to make the chart responsive to window resizing
responsive: true,
// Boolean - whether to maintain the starting aspect ratio or not when responsive, if set to false, will take up entire container
maintainAspectRatio: true,
//String - A legend template
legendTemplate: "<ul class=\"<%=name.toLowerCase()%>-legend\"><% for (var i=0; i<segments.length; i++){%><li><span style=\"background-color:<%=segments[i].fillColor%>\"></span><%if(segments[i].label){%><%=segments[i].label%><%}%></li><%}%></ul>"
};
//Create pie or douhnut chart
pieChart.Doughnut(PieData, pieOptions);
And json which a pass is :
data=[
{value:300,
color: "#00a65a",
highlight:"#00a65a",
label:"On time"
},
{value:200,
color:"#f39c12" ,
highlight:"#f39c12"
label:"Overdue"
},
...
]
Label is visible only on tooltip, but legend is not generated.

How to dynamically change point location with line in Chart.js?

I am using the line graph in Chart.js v1 stable, and I want to dynamically change the point location along with the ling thats attached to it, so like if I slide the point up using javascript, then the point attached to it moves too. Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks

Use .value instead of .y i.e.
myLineChart.datasets[0].points[len - 1].value = 250

Chart.js setting maximum bar size of bar chart

I want to limit the maximum width of a bar chart
My CODE:
<script>
// bar chart data
var a=[];
a.push('kalai 2015-04-11');
var b=[];
b.push('300');
var barData = {
labels : a,
datasets : [
{
fillColor : "#48A497",
strokeColor : "#48A4D1",
data : b
}
]
}
// get bar chart canvas
var income = document.getElementById("income").getContext("2d");
// draw bar chart
new Chart(income).Bar(barData, {scaleGridLineWidth : 1});
<!--new Chart(income).Bar(barData);-->
</script>
What is the way to do so
It looks like this for single value
The size of the bar reduces as the number of bar increases How can i set maximum bar size to make it more viewable

You can add new options, which are not available by default.But you need to edit chart.js
In Chart.js add these lines of code
Step 1:
//Boolean - Whether barwidth should be fixed
isFixedWidth:false,
//Number - Pixel width of the bar
barWidth:20,
Add these two line in defaultConfig of Bar Chart
Step 2:
calculateBarWidth : function(datasetCount){
**if(options.isFixedWidth){
return options.barWidth;
}else{**
//The padding between datasets is to the right of each bar, providing that there are more than 1 dataset
var baseWidth = this.calculateBaseWidth() - ((datasetCount - 1) * options.barDatasetSpacing);
return (baseWidth / datasetCount);
}
Add this condition in calculateBarWidth function of barchart
Now you can set barWidth in custom js file as option by setting
isFixedWidth:true,
barWidth:xx
If you don't want to specify fixed barwidth, just change isFixedWidth:false

Its kinda late to answer this but hope this helps someone out there... play around with barDatasetSpacing [ adds spacing after each bar ] and barValueSpacing [ adds spacing before each bar ] to be able to achieve your desired bar width.. example below when initiating your bar chart
... barDatasetSpacing:10, barValueSpacing:30, ...
Hope it helps..

I did it by extending Bar chart, and calculating barValueSpacing dynamically. I use angular chartjs
var MAX_BAR_WIDTH = 50;
Chart.types.Bar.extend({
name: "BarAlt",
draw: function(){
var datasetSize = n // calculate ur dataset size here
var barW = this.chart.width / datasetSize;
if(barW > MAX_BAR_WIDTH){
this.options.barValueSpacing = Math.floor((this.chart.width - (MAX_BAR_WIDTH * datasetSize)) / datasetSize);
}
Chart.types.Bar.prototype.draw.apply(this, arguments);
}
});

Did you tried following options?
{
//Boolean - Whether the scale should start at zero, or an order of magnitude down from the lowest value
scaleBeginAtZero : true,
//Boolean - Whether grid lines are shown across the chart
scaleShowGridLines : true,
//String - Colour of the grid lines
scaleGridLineColor : "rgba(0,0,0,.05)",
//Number - Width of the grid lines
scaleGridLineWidth : 1,
//Boolean - Whether to show horizontal lines (except X axis)
scaleShowHorizontalLines: true,
//Boolean - Whether to show vertical lines (except Y axis)
scaleShowVerticalLines: true,
//Boolean - If there is a stroke on each bar
barShowStroke : true,
//Number - Pixel width of the bar stroke
barStrokeWidth : 2,
//Number - Spacing between each of the X value sets
barValueSpacing : 5,
//Number - Spacing between data sets within X values
barDatasetSpacing : 1,
//String - A legend template
legendTemplate : "<ul class=\"<%=name.toLowerCase()%>-legend\"><% for (var i=0; i<datasets.length; i++){%><li><span style=\"background-color:<%=datasets[i].fillColor%>\"></span><%if(datasets[i].label){%><%=datasets[i].label%><%}%></li><%}%></ul>"
}

Javascript not working in WP

I am using this chart js with its documentation but is not showing inside my Wordpress post. I did not host the js file since I can only use it from github.
Code in my WP post:
