Here's a snippet from the png help page:


      'bitmap' provides an alternative way to generate PNG and JPEG
      plots that does not depend on accessing the X11 display but does
      depend on having GhostScript installed.  (Device 'GDD' in 'GDD' is
      another alternative using several other additional pieces of
      software.)

You can find GDD and another alternative Cairo here:
