You probably cannot without passing on special options for xdvipdfmx as I mentioned.</div>

Basically ghostscript no longer allows transparancy stuff by default and as far as I know pstricks use this a lot. I never use pstricks myself in favour for tikz so I cannot help much else. you might want to post a question on tex.stackexchange.com or write

Ghostscript is needed to process the postscript generated via pstricks. Ghostscript had some secirity problems so the ghostscript maintainers has disabled some features by default.</div>

So the xdvipdfmx part of xelatex need to be added some extra options. Though I cannot find the details right now.<br class="">

I am a mac user, running Mac OS Big Sur 11.3.<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">

After having updated to MacTex 2021 I am experiencing troubles when compiling with pstricks.<br class="">
In particular, the compilation with xelatex does not provide any specific error, but strangely enough, NO graph is showing in the output pdf.<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
<br class="">
Even more strange, all is fine instead when compiling using MacTex 2020 version.<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">

Do you have any clue of what it is happening?<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
