I figured it out!
A variable can not be used in an option or setting that requires a string
as the input.

The entire command has to be constructed.

Example:

Instead of
gset title (myvar)

use
e = num2str(.354)
myvar = ["This is the max value - ", e]
command = sprintf ("gset title \"%s\"", myvar);
eval(command);

This will resolve to

gset title "This is the max value - .354"


Thanks for the help.
