Two suggestions:

1. You might be able to send gnuplot commands through the stream that is used 
for communication between Octave and gnuplot. I don't know much about this, 
however. Someone else might be able to help here.

2. Save your data to a file and use gnuplot to plot the data in this file. 
Maybe you can make a gnuplot script and run gnuplot with this script from 
within Octave using the system(...) command. This applroach is independent of 
Octaves plotting mechanisms and will allow you to use every gnuplot command you 
can think of.
