I'm afraid, I haven't the faintest idea. I have never used Matlab for
any length of time nor do I intend doing so anytime soon. Sorry.
However, I would seriously recommend shifting to Python+SciPy for your
numerics needs if you use matlab.

Can you create a "subprocess" in matlab so you can run an external
command independent of matlab? If you can do that then you could do
what you wanted by launching mayavi with whatever arguments you want
to visualize the data and have the file saved. If you need more
customization you can write a Python script that does what you want
and have matlab call that Python script.
HTH.
cheers,
