It is possible to do this using Css tricks. Let me send you an example tonight. On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 8:15 AM Tarun notifications@github.com wrote:

Here is an example of how to do this with the "gauge-small" type chart:

  <div id="gaugeChart" class="epoch gauge-small">
    <label>Text Here</label>
  </div>
  <script>
    $('#gaugeChart').epoch({
      type: 'time.gauge',
      value: 0.5
    });
  </script>
  <style>
    #gaugeChart label {
      display: block;
      text-align: center;
      position: relative;
      top: 125px;
    }
  </style>

Which results in this:

The key here is the top attribute. For this I simply took the height of the gauge-small class (135px) and subtracted 10 to get the desired result.

Each size for the gauge has its own pre-defined height, for the exact size for each type see the documentation on the Epoch Github Pages site.
