I can think of at least a couple of solutions:

  Fix Octave to work the way you want, then contribute your changes back
  to the project so that others can benefit from your work too, as you
  have perhaps already benefitted from having Octave available to you.

or

  Save your data to a file (or set of files), fire up gnuplot (or any
  one of your other favorite plotting packages), and plot like a
  madman 'til the cows come home.
