How to correctly centre text element on all bars of a nvd3 bar chart

I want to display the y-axis values of a nvd3 barchart on each individual bar. I can display the values, but I do not know how to set the height of the text element to be at the centre of each bar without hard coding the value. I use

d3.selectAll(".nv-bar")

to select each bar,but this does not have an height attribute ( as far as I can see). "discreteBar" has a height, but I cannot get in an d3.select()

I appreciate any help

.attr("y", 40)
.text(function (d) {

    nv.utils.windowResize(chart.update);

Two things make this work.

First, you can't write the labels until the transition is over since the rects won't have their proper height until then.

Second, you can get the rect height by using previousSibling of the text you just added. Putting this together:

d3.select('#chartContainer')
    .append("svg")
    .attr('width', width)
    .attr('height', height)
    .datum(nested_data)
    .transition().duration(1000)
    .call(chart)
    .each("end", function() {
      d3.selectAll(".nv-bar")
        .append("text")
        .attr("x", chart.xAxis.rangeBand() / 4)
        .attr("y", function(d) {
          return d3.select(this.previousSibling).attr('height') / 2;
        })
        .text(function(d) {
          return d.Value
        })
    });
