We give a geometric interpretation of the results of Sheekey (Adv Math Commun 10: 475–
488, 2016, Sect. 5) on linear sets on a projective line. We extend this to linear sets in
arbitrary dimension, giving the connection between two constructions for linear sets defined
in Lunardon (J Comb Theory Ser A 149: 1–20, 2017). Finally, we then exploit this connection
by using the MacWilliams identities to obtain information about the possible weight …
