Newline in node label in dot (graphviz) language


Does anyone know how to put newline in the label of the node? \n is not working - instead some new nodes appear.


Solution

  • This works for me as documented:

    digraph {
        n[label="two\nlines"]
        "on\nthree\nlines"
    }
    

    Either put in in a label attribute (my preference), or use it as the node's name, but always enclose it with double quotes.
