tree output questions.

  How does the output specify the diameter of the nodes?

The node diameter (the radius, actually) is implicitly derived from the node
center and the endpoints of the edges adjacent to the node.

  Are edges really the lines connecting the nodes?

Yes.

   Once I've weeded through all these x,y points and figure what I want this
   tidy tree to look like I output:

           1. "nodes" followed by the x,y coordinates of the different nodes.
           2. "edges" followed by 4 integer sets that represent endpoints for
              edges.

Yes, assuming you mean the x, y coordinates of the node centers for 1. Your
program can output nodes followed by edges or edges followed by nodes,
whichever is more convenient.
