*In my efforts to debug my PM Quadtree, I have developed a java program that creates xml input files for making random PM Quadtrees (with random cities and roads). If someone could verify that my tests are congruent with their tests (as I am currently not passing the pm3 tests), that would be very helpful.

-[May 13, 2007] Mike, I think that one of the problem with from your output file is that you do not list the roads in asciibetical order. For example,
(this is correct)
<black cardinality="3">
<city color="black" name="city29" radius="0" x="244" y="407"/>
<road end="city78" start="city29"/>
<road end="city99" start="city36"/>
(this is NOT correct)
<black cardinality="3">
<city color="black" name="city29" radius="0" x="244" y="407"/>
<road end="city99" start="city36"/>
<road end="city78" start="city29"/>
You correctly have the start as the asciibetically lower city name, but when you list them, you don't have them listed asciibetically. A simple Collections.sort(<ArrayList> list, new CityNameComparator()) before listing the roads should do the trick.

PS. Anyone else verify this?
