Catch is designed to "just work" as much as possible. For most people the only configuration needed is telling Catch which source file should host all the implementation code (```CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN```).
Nonetheless there are still some occasions where finer control is needed. For these occasions Catch exposes a small set of macros for configuring how it is built.
# Terminal colour
Yes, I am English, so I will continue to spell "colour" with a 'u'.
When sending output to the terminal, if it detects that it can, Catch will use colourised text. On Windows the Win32 API, ```SetConsoleTextAttribute```, is used. On POSIX systems ANSI colour escape codes are inserted into the stream.
For finer control you can define one of the following identifiers (these are mutually exclusive - but that is not checked so may behave unexpectedly if you mix them):
CATCH_CONFIG_COLOUR_NONE // completely disables all text colouring
CATCH_CONFIG_COLOUR_WINDOWS // forces the Win32 console API to be used
CATCH_CONFIG_COLOUR_ANSI // forces ANSI colour codes to be used
Note that when ANSI colour codes are used "unistd.h" must be includable - along with a definition of ```isatty()```
Typically you should place the ```#define``` before #including "catch.hpp" in your main source file - but if you prefer you can define it for your whole project by whatever your IDE or build system provides for you to do so.
