No, you cannot.

A CGI program has no GUI, and the Graphics unit is only useful for GUI.

I suspect the main program file is generated by the lazcgi package.
If you are using the lazcgi package, remove it. It is outdated and 
generates incorrect code. (although I have local fixes lying around 
that fix precisely your problem)

Use the lazweb package instead. It creates the correct program file
and contains much more functionality than lazcgi.
