Bokeh is quite cool. I was looking for a way to disable touch interaction with a plot, though. Was a little tedious to find a solution on the web. Found it, buried in the docs. Therefore this quick post.

Say you have created a figure object with

fig = bokeh.plotting.figure(...)

Then you can disable the individual touch controls with e.g.

fig.toolbar.active_drag = None
fig.toolbar.active_scroll = None
fig.toolbar.active_tap = None

Very easy to do, you just need someone to tell you :-).

(Tested with Bokeh 2.0.0)
