Maybe it's worthwhile to look for lower level commands.  pgf is just a
wrapper for the PostScript imaging model which PDF inherited.

Thus, I assume that that pgf must have representations of low-level
PostScript instructions like moveto, lineto, curveto, and so on.
It's based on them.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
