Do you mean the following?
p1 = [1; 4]; % vector p1
formatstring = "@b*";
plot(p1(1,:), p1(2,:), formatstring);

documentation might need some polishing. Just a reference to the gnuplot manual
is probably
not enough, in particular since some gnuplot options (e.g. line thickness) are
not supported
by Octave.
And when it comes to more advanced plotting (eg. 3d-plots) many baisc things
are undocumented
and very difficult to figure out.
Maybe this is something for a seperate howto document or the Octave wiki?
