Description

I am sure if there is already discussion before about this feature, so I raise it here for discussion.

I have an application that needs to index the hexagon cells in different resolution, according to the latitude. On areas with low latitude, the edge length is about 2.0KM, while on areas with high latitude, the edge length is about 5.0KM. According the to H3 resolution table, resolution 5,6,7 is not what I want. Does the H3 library support customized resolution? Can I modify the code a bit for supporting this feature?

Research direction

Start by reviewing H3's existing resolution model and the linked H3 resolution table. Clarify the required latitude-dependent behavior and assess whether customized resolutions would affect the library's indexing guarantees; the issue currently names no source files, tests, or concrete acceptance criteria.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
