No there is not. It would be interesting to add though. Maybe one day...

Your best chance is to read
http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/docs/development/html/mayavi/advanced_scripting.html
After that, I tend to say that simply reading the code is the best way to
do it. There might be more clever ways, but I can't think of one. The
code is quite structured, so I believe that after a while it will feel
'natural' :).

You can also ask direct questions. I am swamped and quite tired, so
answers might come in slowly.
