I believe that R can export all formats that GNUplot can produce,
so i don't really see why you want to use GNUplot if you don't know it.
If you still want to then read ?write.table, that can export your data
into a spreadsheet-like ascii format which can be used from GNUplot
easily.
Btw, comparing the graphics capabilities of GNUplot and R, it is
something like a three-wheel bicycle and a spaceship. Guess
which is which.
