      PlotDisplay<?,?> createPlotComponent(uk.ac.starlink.table.StarTable table, boolean dataMayChange) throws Exception
      Creates a JComponent holding a plot of the data in the first two columns of the supplied table. This plot is live, and can be resized (as required by Swing) and panned and zoomed (by various mouse drag and wheel gestures).

      The dataMayChange parameter is used to determine whether the plot positions should be cached or not for repaints, either as required by Swing move/resize actions or as the result of the user navigating around the plot. It's always safe to set it true, but if the data is static, setting it false will give better performance.

      Parameters:
      table - table to plot
      dataMayChange - true if the table data may change during the lifetime of the plot
      Throws:
      Exception
