Web mercator ground resolution and scale denominator: latitude cosine unit · case 02

Resolution oscillates and even turns negative across latitudes.

Case contract

Input [lat, z, tile_size, dpi]. Ground resolution in metres per pixel is 2*pi*6378137*cos(lat)/(tile_size*2**z) with the equatorial circumference computed exactly. The map scale denominator is resolution*dpi/0.0254. Return [resolution rounded to 6 decimals, scale denominator rounded to the nearest integer] computed from the unrounded resolution.

Why this case matters

Scale bars, level-of-detail choice and print exports depend on these values.
