The gnuplot bundles with octave-3.8 for windows (MXE build) 
only have features build-in terminals.
(The gd and cairo based terminals are omitted.)

If you would like to use the -dpngcairo option the octave 3.8 (MXE), 
you have to use gnuplot 4.6.5 acquired from gnuplot official site.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.6.5/


Binary packages for Windows
    gp465-win32-setup.exe   Windows binary installer
    gp465-win32.zip         Windows binary zip package

I recommend that you install windows binary to the folder the name of
which does not include white spaces. (e.g. C:\programs\gnuplot).

If you install the gnuplot to C:\programs\gnuplot,
please set gnuplot_binary as:

gnuplot_binary('C:\programs\gnuplot\bin\gnuplot');

in an octave startup file.

C:\octave\Octave-3.8.1\share\octave\3.8.1\m\startup\octaverc

or
C:\octave\Octave-3.8.1\share\octave\site\m\startup\octaverc

(Assuming that you are using octave-3.8.1. 
Please modify the location at your install.)


# Note that the gnuplot 5.0(latest rc2) is not recommended for the 

  compatibility issue.
