There is no general mechanism for defining new point shapes,
although it can be done for some terminals (e.g. PostScript).
However for a hexagon in particular you can use the
following trick, assuming you have a font with the appropriate
character.
HEX = "⬢" # unicode point 0x2B22 BLACK HEXAGON
# UTF-8: 0xE2 0xAC 0xA2
plot foo using 1:2:(HEX) with labels
