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

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.
