OK, as you've found the GUI macros won't work, and they're not overly reliable even when the GUI is up. 

/display/objects/create mesh 

Then look in options for surface type and surfaces-list to set up what you want to see. You'll finish up with an object called (for example) mesh-1. 

You then create the contour (or whatever) in another object. Finally, create a scene from the objects. When displaying stuff to then save images you display the final scene and everything should be set. 

You'll notice the way I wrote the command(s). That ensures that any command starts from the root folder. If I used your command and wasn't in root it would fail or do something interesting.
