Quick question: Does this graph have a name?

http://www.nabble.com/file/p16349649/at-length.png Hi, I produced this graph with R and I am very happy with it. But now I wonder: Is this some standard way of displaying data and if so, does it have a name? (like Histogram, Box plot etc.)
It's a stacked bar plot. It's also somewhat similar to a mosaic plot, since the stacks all add up to 1, but in a mosaic plot, the rectangles typically have gaps between them, and don't necessarily have equal widths. For example, mosaicplot(~ Class + Survived, data = Titanic, color = TRUE) Duncan Murdoch
I need to explain the plot to people so knowing a bit more about what exactly this is, would certainly help ;-) Thanks a lot!
