To complete a correct answer: It is also possible to integrate the
electron density and other escalar fields in the basin related to an
atom. A complete topological code should include such ability to perform
the complete QTAIM task. The "critic" (see critic2 for the most recent
public version) code is able to read wien2k outpput and provide you the
charges for the basin of different atoms. Even non nuclear maxima. See
details of the code in CPC (Computer Physics Communications).
