Could you create a script based on the parameters given by the user
and then feed the script into Octave? Octave could then hand the data
over to gnuplot which would send the plot to some file which you then
give the URL of to the user in the web page.

I've not done this before so I'm not sure how plausible it is plus
there are certain security and concurrency issues.
