maybe you want

set size 500./600., 500./600.
set origin 100./600., 100./600.

That defines the drawing area, but doesn't say exactly where in the
drawing area the plot boundaries lie.

Or maybe you don't want size and origin at all, but instead 

   set term png size 600,600
   set tmargin at screen 600./600.
   set rmargin at screen 600./600.
   set bmargin at screen 100./600.
   set lmargin at screen 100./600.
