Hi David,
atm only the navigation bar can be disabled via
shownavigation: false
when initializing the board, e.g.:
JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard('jxgbox', {boundingbox: [-9, 8, 9, -10],shownavigation: false});
But disabling the zoom via mouse wheel or panning via shift+drag is not possible, yet. But it sounds useful, i'll note it in our tracker.
