Use the pointtype and pointsize options  e g   plot    points dat  using 1 2 pt 7 ps 10     where pt 7 gives you a filled circle and ps 10 is the size   See  Plotting data

The pointsize command scales the size of points  but does not affect the size of dots     In other words  plot     with points ps 2 will generate points of twice the normal size  but for plot     with dots ps 2 the  ps 2  part is ignored   You could use circular points  pt 7   which look just like dots
