@esc24 / @pelson - are there any cross-platform issues with this?

hi @rhattersley just out of interest, whats the drive for changing from TkAgg (default)?
I seems to remember a discussion with someone about failing tests due to the TkAgg backend of matploblib, is this why?

Maybe it should be listed under the description of the issue.

@cpelley - TkAgg is not the default on all platforms. Agg appears to be the canonical backend. See http://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/issues/214 for further info.

@rhattersley - I see no issue under OSX with this change. It might be worth updating the docstring (line 24) to highlight the use of agg by default.
