How to lock the plot (disable scrolling/zooming/panning)

• ScottPlot Version: 4.1.12
• Operating System: W10
• Is it a GUI app? What platform? WinForms

How do i completely disable the function to pan/zoom/scroll for a plot?
I use AxisAuto() to scale the plot appropriately once I have added all the plottables. I thereafter want to disable all the zooming/panning etc. I thought of setting AxisLimits to the current value of Y and X axis scale. But there is no GetCurrentAxis or similar. Note it needs to disable the zooming/panning for all axisindexes.

Bonus: How do I get rid of the "Help" menu when right clicking. As the user might start asking: "why does it say in help i can zoom, but it doesnt work?"

Great tool honestly, had so much success with it past few days. Well done

So I can use GetAxisLimits on each y-axis index once the view is in a state where I want to to stay, the plot only zooms in and out when panning

But unfortunately SetViewLimits only applies to the primary axisindexes. Y-axisindex 2 is still being modified when moving around beyond what I want to limit it to, causing the scale between yaxis1 and yaxis2 to mess up

Go into Formsplot.Configuration and all the settings are there :) Now to figure out the contextmenu customisation

Is it possible to inherit to assign some of the defaultrightlclick in a custom one?
I want to keep all the options which are provided by default but just delete the help menu. Please correct me if i am wrong, but if I create a custom one, I now need to recode all of the other default options such as "open in new window" and "copy" and "save as image"?

I went through your source code and used the code there to keep the same options :)

Perfect! To aid future readers, this is that source code:

Is there an easy way to do this with wpf? I'm not seeing Configuration option.

In ScottPlot5 you can use:

WpfPlot.Interactions.Disable();

Just what I needed, thanks!
