columbus <- st_read(system.file("shapes/columbus.gpkg", package="spData")[1], quiet=TRUE)
col.gal.nb <- read.gal(system.file("weights/columbus.gal", package="spData")[1])
coords <- st_coordinates(st_centroid(columbus))
plot(col.gal.nb, coords)
to.be.dropped <- c(31, 34, 36, 39, 42, 46)
text(coords[to.be.dropped,1], coords[to.be.dropped,2], labels=to.be.dropped,
  pos=2, offset=0.3)
sub.col.gal.nb <- subset(col.gal.nb,
  !(1:length(col.gal.nb) %in% to.be.dropped))

which(!(attr(col.gal.nb, "region.id") %in%
  attr(sub.col.gal.nb, "region.id")))
