Yes, netbpm will be "batch mode" only, afaik. Your students would have to rely on an external image viewer. It has been too long but I think plotutils can write live to an X-window. I used it for doing vector based drawing so don't know how well, or even if, it supports bitmapped work. Maybe someone else can comment. Beyond that, I can only suggest low level toolkit stuff (eg, gtk+/gtkmm) but this gets your students too far away from doing the fun stuff, I guess. -Brett.
