Correcting scene orientation and rendering

[JordanConvergence]

I am making a simulation of a robot using Mayavi as the renderer. One of the features that I would like to be able to do is set the view point to be at the position and orientation of a camera held in the hand of the robot. I am currently able to set the position and orientation of the scene camera using the following code.

// Calculate homogenous transform of the camera in the world frame
cameraTransform = np.matmul(self.V01.armFrames[armID].transformToWorld,self.V01.arms[armID].targetPoint["transform"])

// Set the focal point in front of the camera
mlab.view(focalpoint=transformVector(cameraTransform,np.array([0,0,10])))

// Set the camera position based of homogenous transform
mlab.gcf().scene.camera.position = transformVector(cameraTransform,np.array([0,0,-10]))

// Draw the scene
mlab.draw()

After doing this, the scene shows nothing until I move the screen manually with my mouse, and then the correct view is shown. Is there an additional step that I need to do to show the scene without having to move the scene with the mouse? Can I simulate a mouse movement event so that I don't have to click on the scene each time?
