The unitType property of the SVGAngle interface is one of the unit type constants and represents the units in which this angle's value is expressed.
A number representing the numeric value of the constant.
Here's an example of how to access the unitType property:
// Get an SVGAngle object
const svg = document.querySelector("svg");
const angle = svg.createSVGAngle();
// Set the angle value
angle.newValueSpecifiedUnits(SVGAngle.SVG_ANGLETYPE_DEG, 45);
// Check the unit type
console.log(angle.unitType); // Output: 2 (SVG_ANGLETYPE_DEG)
