Is there a name for these charts?

There's some plots on the fgsea vignette that I'd like to refer to by name. It's the chart returned by the plotGseaTable function that I'm interested in - Curiously they look like polytene fruitfly chromosomes. Does anyone know if they have an actual name?

It's a variant of a barcode plot, or a strip plot, or a rug plot: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/190097/whats-the-name-of-this-barcode-like-graph-used-for-visualizing-spread-in-dat
