Enhancement description

Hi

I really enjoy using backtesting.py and its clean and simple approach to backtesting. But, one of the things that really turns me off is that I'm unable to resize the chart visualization's height.

I use backtesting.py in jupyter notebooks and I think being able to resize the chart to actually see something would be a really great addition.

Cheers!

Research direction

The issue does not identify an implementation file, test, or chart entry point. Start by locating the chart visualization code used for Jupyter notebooks and determine how its height is currently set. Done means users can configure a chart height and the resized visualization renders correctly in a notebook.
