maybe people should read the documentation first? ;)

from PS_End:

If `ImageMagick ` is installed
on your computer, you can easily convert PostScript output to GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF
raster output. If `Ghostscript ` is installed
you can convert PostScript output to PDF files.

from cgPlot:
All raster file output is created through PostScript intermediate files (the
PostScript files will be deleted), so ImageMagick and Ghostview MUST be installed
to produce anything other than PostScript output.
