Have a look at the examples, the plot object is not just a
prefix to the usual command line, but you can use it somewhat
that way.  For example

   pobj = Gnuplot.Gnuplot()

   pobj( 'plot "file" with points, "fileb" with lines' )

or, from one of my scripts

    pobj = Gnuplot.Gnuplot()
    pobj.xlabel( xlab )
    pobj.ylabel( ylab )
    pobj( 'set zlabel "' + zlab + '"' )
    pobj( 'set view 70,340,1.10' )
    pobj( 'set grid xtics ytics' )
    pobj( 'set contour' )
    pobj( 'set cntrparam levels 10' )
    pobj( 'set terminal png small transparent' )
    pobj( 'set output "' + fileName + '"' )

    dobj1 = Gnuplot.GridData( d1, x, y,
                              Gnuplot.PlotItems._unset, 
                              title=d1Title, 
                              with="lines" ),

    pobj.splot( dobj1 )

    pobj.reset()

Maybe you could construct a list of the points then use the more
complex form of "set xtics".   See 'help set xtics' in Gnuplot.
If your dates are in seconds, I'm not sure.  See the help for
xdata and timefmt, it should be possible.

Good luck
