I find it easier to save the data to file and then generate the graphs
in gnuplot directly, using the epslatex terminal; this lets you use
arbitrary LaTeX mathematical formulae.
You can do it in Octave though, accessing gnuplot's enhanced postscript
terminal indirectly; for example:
octave-2.9.10+:1> x = linspace (0, 1, 101);
octave-2.9.10+:2> plot (x, sin (2*pi*x), ";sin 2{/Symbol
p}{/Times-Italic x};")
octave-2.9.10+:3> print ("my.eps")
This works for the EPS file, but does display on the screen as the raw
input string.
