First of all, I do believe it would be good to move the plotting
settings to outside the table, either before or after.
I can see good ways to specify parameters for a plot that would be quite
consistent with how Org deals with such things in similar situations.
1. A special comment line in the buffer, directly before the table, like
#+PLOT: table-to-gnuplot :xcol 1 :ycols (2 4 5 6) :title "Some string"
or
#+PLOT: table-to-R :script "/path/to/script"
The command can read these by macthing
(if (looking-at "#+PLOT: +\\([^ \t\r\n]+\\)\\( +.*\\)?")
(let* ((func (intern (match-string 1)))
(params-plist
(if (match-end 2)
(read (concat "(" (match-string 2 format) ")")))))
2. Use inherited properties to specify plotting parameters in a tree.
