-The C++ API is designed to be easy to use. The following example shows how to transform a point in
-Sydney, Australia from WGS84 (lat, lon) coordinates to UTM zone 56S (x, y) coordinates.

-```cpp
-#include <cuproj/projection_factories.cuh>
-#include <cuproj/vec_2d.hpp>

-// Make a projection to convert WGS84 (lat, lon) coordinates to UTM zone 56S (x, y) coordinates
