The pstricks module isn't supported anymore and even in the past it worked only when you used postscript as output format.
The pstricks module created a temp file, processed it using texexec, and converted the generated ps to pdf using ps2pdf. You could automate it using filter module (by processing the figures using latex!)
Something along the lines of: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/462257/323
Actually, there is a ps interpreter (m-escrito) that taco wrote a few decades ago when postscript was still hip and that I redid / optimized one decaded ago, which is still around .. you can run that file and get this tiger; i suppose I could actually optimize it a bit more and even integrate it with pstricks but i bet no one will revert back to pstricks so i never bothered. We keep it around for the fun of it and those who like to program in postscript.
Thanks. I'll check it. But I agree. Postscript is a really esoteric programming language and IMO the pstricks wrapper not very elegant. So there is very little value in providing a wrapper around it. Aditya
