Dear Wien2k experts,

I'm reading the latest publication for Wien2k (P. Blaha, K.Schwarz, F. Tran, R. 
Laskowski, G.K.H. Madsen and L.D. Marks, J. Chem. Phys. 152, 074101 (2020)) and 
confused about the figure showing the difference charge density of TiCoSb 
(Figure 9 in the paper). I noticed that the core charge densities for Ti and Co 
are very positive and the ones for Sb are very negative. To my best knowledge, 
Ti in TiCoSb is thought to have the chemical valence of +4, which means it 
tends to lose the electrons. However, this looks to contradict to the this 
graph, in which the difference charge densities in Ti are positive. So can 
someone explain why the difference charge densities in Ti core are very 
positive?

Sorry for asking this question that may look stupid.

Many thanks,
Ding
