 I was wondering if it could be possible without too much effort to 
 enable mouse-wheel-based scrolling or zooming as described here: 
 
http://gnuplot.info/docs_6.1/loc14336.html
 I know that in a gretl-controlled plot one can already select 
 "zoom..." and then define a rectangle with the mouse. This works nicely.
OK, so in the meantime it turned out that this rectangle-zooming isn't 
something that came with gnuplot for free in this context. And so having 
the mouse-wheeling wouldn't be so easy to achieve in a native gretl 
window (with a plot inside).
 I also know that after saving the plot as a session icon and then 
 executing the raw gnuplot code, one gets a native gnuplot window (not 
 gretl-controlled), and there the mouse-wheel thing works as well. 
 (This is on Windows 10.) So as an alternative route it might also be a 
 possibility to make it easier to send the plot directly to native 
 gnuplot, instead of having to go via the raw plotting code first. 
This seems like the way to go...
