You can use the drawnow() function to output a gnuplot plot-stream and then
modify the plot-stream to use the cairolatex. I haven't tested the
instructions below, so some modification may be needed.
(1) Produce your plot
(2) drawnow ("x11", "/dev/null", false, "plotstream.gp")
(3) Edit plotstream.gp and change "set term x11..." to "set term cairolatex
...", also specify a new output file.
(4) Run gnuplot and load plotstream.gp
