Mathematica source to generate graph (which was then saved as SVG from Mathematica):

Show[][{{1/E, E^(-1/E)}}][Large]}, 
  PlotRange -> {{0, 1.45}, {0, 1.45^1.45}}],
 Plot[x^x, {x, 0, 1.45}, PlotRange -> {0, 1.45^1.45}],
 Graphics[][{{1/E, E^(-1/E)}, {1/E, 0}}]}],
 LabelStyle -> {FontSize -> 14}, AspectRatio -> 0.7]

LaTeX source for labels:

$$ x^x $$
$$ \left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{e}}, {\mathrm{e}}^{-1/\mathrm{e}}\right) $$

These were converted to SVG with [1] and then the graph was embedded into the resulting document in Inkscape. Axis fonts were also converted to Liberation Serif in Inkscape.
