The first range specifier in a plot command supersedes the range
specified by "set xrange", unless you mark it with the keyword "sample":

set xrange [0:10]
plot sample [2:4] f(x), [1:3] sin(x)

Try it on an interactive terminal first so you don't have to run
LaTeX every time before you see a resukt.

And your example graph looks like you do several plots on the same
output file. You should either use a single plot command

plot f1(x), "data1", \
     f2(x), "data2", \
     ....

or first plot everything to an interactive terminal like "wxt" and
then use a single "replot" command to plot everything to your eps file.

The terminals for file output don't have a well defined behaviour
for plotting to them more than once.
