Re: plotting arrows with psxy and layer transparency...gmt-4.5.1 and 5.1.0

Please file a bug issue on gmt.soest.hawaii.edu and specify what those -R -J settings are so we can reproduce the problem and then we can try to fix it asap.  Provide info like what operating system, etc.

It is working with the older version of gmt-4.5.1, but have trouble with the recent version, gmt-5.1.0. Further, it works fine when i use azimuth and length in the 3rd and 4th columns, but instead if i use end point (x,y), it draws an infinite line outside my map area, not in the direction of given end point. The following are the codes that i used in both the cases.

Absolutely not. The Postscript output is not even compatible.

No, transparency is a new feature in 5.
