Display (d.*) commands will work insofar as they will generate an
image file, but they won't cause the resulting image to be displayed
in the GUI.

However, as you can't set environment variables from the command
window, you won't be able to control where the image file is created,
its format, size, etc.

If you want to view the output from a specific display command in the
GUI, create a command layer (the gear icon).
