This is, in general, not possible, as Mayavi does not have the notion of
a data space and simply uses the coordinates it is given.

That said, most mlab plotting functions take a 'extents' keyword argument
that can be of some use here. See for instance 
http://github.enthought.com/mayavi/mayavi/auto/mlab_helper_functions.html#enthought.mayavi.mlab.points3d

Hope this helps,

Gael
