Point sizes are defined per terminal, and not guaranteed to have a
certain absolute size.

You can either plot with style "circles", or put the circle at the
desired position directly via "set object circle".
	
   $zero << EOD
   0
   EOD
   plot $zero us 1:1:(6) with circles

or

   set object 1 circle at 0,0 size 6
