The second plot in the demo
   http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_canvas/rgb_variable.html

shows one way to plot circles with both size and color controlled
by the input data.

Your case is simpler because it uses a single value for the color
rather than separate R/G/B values.
On the other hand you might prefer more precise control over the
radius of the circles, in which case you could use the plot style
"with circles" rather than "with points pointstyle 7".

I don't think you want pm3d for this at all. 
You just want colored circles, right?
