I don't think that is possible in the current version.

5.0_rc2 will offer a new pair of keywords to handle exactly this case.

In -rc2 the following script works.  
>> DOES NOT IN -rc1 <<

set xrange [] noextend
set yrange [] noextend
set palette defined (0 "#FFFFFF", 1 "#00966E", 2 "#D62612")

plot $REAL matrix columnheaders rowheaders \
           using (0.5+$1):(0.5+$2):3 with image

Notes:
- no quotes around $REAL
- autoscaling and axis offset works better with "plot" than with "splot"
- the rowheaders and columnheaders matrix keywords work essentially like
  the xticlabels and yticlabels option in regular plots.
- see 4th plot in the on-line heatmaps demo for version 5.0

Better to use commas for the purpose of an example :-)

I can't think of an easy way to do that.

See plot command above.
