https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/types.html#__svg__SVGLocatable__getTransformToElement - Specification.
But on TS lib

interface SVGGraphicsElement extends SVGElement, SVGTests {
    readonly transform: SVGAnimatedTransformList;
    /** [MDN Reference](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/SVGGraphicsElement/getBBox) */
    getBBox(options?: SVGBoundingBoxOptions): DOMRect;
    getCTM(): DOMMatrix | null;
    getScreenCTM(): DOMMatrix | null;
    addEventListener<K extends keyof SVGElementEventMap>(type: K, listener: (this: SVGGraphicsElement, ev: SVGElementEventMap[K]) => any, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions): void;
    addEventListener(type: string, listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject, options?: boolean | AddEventListenerOptions): void;
    removeEventListener<K extends keyof SVGElementEventMap>(type: K, listener: (this: SVGGraphicsElement, ev: SVGElementEventMap[K]) => any, options?: boolean | EventListenerOptions): void;
    removeEventListener(type: string, listener: EventListenerOrEventListenerObject, options?: boolean | EventListenerOptions): void;
}

Thare are no getTransformToElement :( (that should be in SVG 1.1)

The specification you linked is for SVGLocatable, which has been deprecated. The graphics element does not have such a method.

@MartinJohns thank you
but where is it written that 1.1 is depecated or getTransformToElement is deprecated in 1.1 . As I know this version of SVG so far is actual an contains getTransformToElement ( link )

This is noted as being deprecated in SVG as of 2016 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5891552/more-usage-of-gettransformtoelement

But I must note that this API is not marked as deprecated in tle latest specification of svg 1.1.
And the decision to remove this API was made after second edition of SVG 1.1 that in turn means that typescript is ahead of the spec and comletely supports only version 2+.
In my hamble opinion svg 1.1 is static for now and this API could have been removed only when browsers had stopped supporting SVG 1.1.
