    The table data for this object are:

    - If *type*=ISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:
        - Dielectric constant.
        - Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
        - Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
        - Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
        - Value of the second field variable.
        - Etc.
    - If *type*=ORTHOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:
        - Dφ11.
        - Dφ2φ.
        - Dφ3φ.
        - Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
        - Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
        - Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
        - Value of the second field variable.
        - Etc.
    - If *type*=ANISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:
        - Dφ11.
        - Dφ12.
        - Dφ22.
        - Dφ13.

        ----------
        table
            A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below. 
        type
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the dielectric behavior. Possible values are ISOTROPIC, 
            ORTHOTROPIC, and ANISOTROPIC. The default value is ISOTROPIC.
