Gnuplot wheel unbind

Question

I have some medium size graphs which takes 1-2 seconds. I'm using the x11 terminal Sometimes, by accident, I swipe on the plot and this cause the plot to be replotted several times (which hangs my window for several seconds) as shown by show bind command:

gnuplot> show bind

 <wheel-up>           scroll up (in +Y direction)
 <wheel-down>         scroll down
 <shift-wheel-up>     scroll left (in -X direction)
 <shift-wheel-down>   scroll right

would it be possible to unbind these?

I tried with bind '<wheel-up>' "" without success

You can disable all mouse actions with

unset mouse

Then enable it, if you want, with

set mouse
