General Questions and Answers / ghost atoms setting

Dear Sir/Madam,
When I calculate the work function, I need to add ghost atoms. As shown in https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/work_function_tuning/work_function_tuning.html, it's said that "swap the identity of the two ghost atoms, such that the O ghost atom is above the surface O atom and likewise for Mg." This is easy for MgO(100), however, as for TiN(111) I was confused about the ghost atoms setting (the attachment is TiN111). How to define that the ghost atom is above the surface atom?
