yes, gnuplot (at least v3.7) supports PNG if compiled properly.  i'm
using an ancient version, and it works:

| $ rpm -q gnuplot
| gnuplot-3.7-2

almost identical to Wayde's postscript example, just:

   set term png color
   set output "mygraph.png"
   replot

then another "set output" to reset the destination to stdout / x11.

i had some issues with trying to switch back and forth; if you want
both ps and png output, it should be possible to do both from the same
session, but i'm not sure.  (and it seemed to work this time.)
