type: 'pie',
data: data

var label = chartData.labels[idx];
var value = chartData.datasets[0].data[idx];
var color = chartData.datasets[0].backgroundColor[idx]; //Or any other data you wish to take from the clicked slice
alert(label + ' ' + value + ' ' + color); //Or any other function you want to execute. I sent the data to the server, and used the response i got from the server to create a new chart in a Bootstrap modal.
