You are referring to the treatment of line segment ends
("end caps"). The options are conventionally called "butt",
"square", and "round". See here, for example:

Gnuplot's pngcairo terminal lets you choose between
"butt" or "round". "square" is not currently supported.
It sounds like you want
set terminal pngcairo butt
