[gpaw-users] Dipole correction

I'm looking to use the dipole correction in GPAW. Specifically, I'm 
using it in the z-direction with periodic boundary conditions in all 
three dimensions. Is the dipole correction always applied at z=0, or 
does it automatically get applied in a region of my unit cell farthest 
from my atoms (i.e., Dacapo behavior)?

Basically I'm wondering if I should be centering my atoms in the unit 
cell, or if I can keep them clustered at the bottom.

thanks,
Andy
